The Hays County Commissioners Court recently proclaimed February as Black History Month in Hays County and many municipalities will follow suit in their upcoming city council meetings.
“This is the first time there has been a collaborative effort of the whole county to work together and put together this schedule of activities,” said Vanessa Westbrook, chair of the African American Heritage Committee of the Hays County Historical Commission. “Some of the activities have been going on for years. Some are new. The old and the new have met together to provide the citizens of Hays County with a great opportunity for discovery, exploration and learning about significant African Americans in Hays County.

In an effort to preserve the rich history and culture of the local Indigenous and Tejano community, Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra has formally established the Council for the Indigenous and Tejano Community (CITC).Â
The historical council will work closely with the Indigenous Cultures Institute to fulfill its mission of telling untold and undertold Indigenous and Tejano stories. CITC will also work on oral histories, written stories, booklets with family stories, cultural education and art projects. Â I am creating this council because much help is needed in telling these stories, Becerra said in a press release.Â
