About this book

Hemisfair '68 and the Transformation of San Antonio by Sterlin Holmesly. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781893271289.

In 1968, a worlds fair sparked a transformation of San Antonio. A monolithic Old Guard overcame four decades of post-Depression lethargy to put on the event, only to find itself soon overthrown by populist forces unleashed by the new energy. As change rippled outward, rising minority political groups gained a decisive voice in economic developments. In this book the author records the HemisFair and post-HemisFair experiences and reflections of 34 prominent San Antonians, told in their own words.
