Whittier left San Antonio to become the first African-American letter winner in Texas Longhorns’ football history in 1970.
Your support — doubled!
We’ve set a goal to raise $100,000 by Dec. 31 and we’ll need your help to do it. All new donations between now and the end of the year will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $100,000 thanks to a generous gift from The John and Florence Newman Foundation.
We’re on a mission to inform and connect all San Antonio residents with quality in-depth local news so they can better live their lives. This work matters, and the best part is that it’s made possible by the people we serve: our readers.
