Austin's Mexico: A Forgotten Downtown Neighborhood
Austin History Center- Austin Public Library
October 30 through March 10, 2013
Photos from the Library’s Austin History Center depict Austin’s early Mexican and Mexican American business and cultural community downtown between Congress Avenue and the banks of Shoal Creek. This community moved to Austin’s eastside in the 1930s, largely a result of the 1928 City Plan for Austin, which suggested that the city segregate minority communities.
