TVSA created a video using the illustrations from the graphic novel "A Home, a Church & a Hospital: The Development of East San Antonio," which tells the story of how Charles Bellinger, Greater Corinth Baptist Church, and two nurses helped to shape the city's Eastside and contributed to San Antonio’s African American history.
Cast:
Narrator - Andrew Lee
Pastor - Carl Brooks
The graphic novel is a component of the Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) African American Heritage Preservation Initiative, which aims to identify, promote, and preserve San Antonio’s African American cultural heritage. In 2025, OHP worked with Sydney Andrea Landers of Squidny Comics to develop a graphic novel to be distributed at schools, libraries, and community events.
This project was funded in part by the Texas Historical Commission’s Texas Preservation Trust Fund Heritage Education Grant.
