Learn about how the Carver Community Center on the East Side has grown into a cultural hub in the Alamo city and how it birthed the Carver Branch Library.
The Carver Community Center is still home to art, music and performances today, much like it originally intended when it first opened for African-American's in the 1900s.– In the early 1900s, the building we now know as the Carver Community Center was a safe haven for Black San Antonians. The center served as a performance space for artists and musicians of the times like Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington and more.
The current space continues to house local artists, musicians and performers much like it originated. After desegregation, the library which is now known as the Carver Branch Library moved to East Commerce Street. When the library was first established, Prudence Lewis Curry was brought in as the first branch manager and librarian.
