No full textSNAP News was a weekly publication founded by Eugene Coleman in 1949 to record the achievements of the African-American community in San Antonio. The publication began as a weekly magazine and newspaper that covered local politics, social events, sports, and news. SNAP was dedicated to covering important news about the civil rights movement, police brutality, segregation, and other racially-motivated crimes. The publication also highlighted many sororities and churches each week, with updates on all of the social life that was happening within the community. It was a well-rounded publication that gives an insightful view into life in the 1950s and ‘60s, as well as into the ‘80s and mid-2000s. The SNAP News collection features a large, but incomplete run of one of San Antonio’s longest running weekly newspapers, spanning from 1954-2013."Focus on current events" (varies).

Verbo y Carita
No full text"Jose Rodriguez based his humorous print Verbo y Carita on the same peculiar Mexican phrase: those with the gift of gab (verbiage) are said to display verbo and those who are good looking display carita. The idea parallels the story of Cyrano de Bergerac. The double portrait came about after the artist visited Morelia, Mexico with a friend and took a taxi one night. The amusing cab driver was talking about Verbo y Carita and claimed he was fortunate to have both: he enjoyed talking and his cab was full of interesting trinkets, including a monkey, which appears on the print’s border as a decorative motif. Rodriguez later wondered whether he and his friend had either of those qualities and developed this image as a way of telling the story. The portrait includes two working-class men with aprons, standing side by side with arms crossed. The intensity of their gaze signals the importance of their work. Rodriguez used cross-hatching to develop the figures and a tile background with flower designs on the top. The intricate border, based on Indian miniature paintings, provides a shifting of space where the figures are confined. The artist uses this visual element as a metaphor for the exploration of placement that is the idea of fitting in to a particular situation. His simple palette of complementary reds and greens is enriched by metallic gold ink that gives the print a luminescent quality." - excerpt from Serieproject.org16 x 22 i
