Christina Rees and Brandon Zech discuss artists’ use of windows as makeshift galleries and question if cities should force businesses to put art in empty storefronts.

Watch Live: San Antonio virtual MLK March will feel like the real thing
FacebookTwitterEmail
Since he was in elementary school, Ya’Ke Smith has marched with thousands of fellow San Antonians every January to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Now because of the pandemic, the 40-year-old filmmaker is taking that experience and its message off the streets and onto televisions and touchscreens.
His 90-minute film “Dream: Rising Up for Justice” will serve as the virtual version of the 2021 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. commemorative march.
It will air at 10 a.m. Monday on WOAI-TV, KABB-TV and TVSA. It also will stream on the Facebook pages of the city of San Antonio (@cosagov) and the San Antonio Martin Luther King Jr. Commission (@mlkcommission).
