A building just off the 1600 block of W. Poplar could be getting a historical marker in the near future, but not for being a special events venue known for its outdoor lucha libre matches.
“There definitely needs to be a historical marker,” said Cristal Mendez, the historian of the San Antonio African-American Community Archive and Museum.Understanding its historical significance, Casiano said he hadn’t made any major changes to the building.
Mendez told him that perhaps SAAACAM could help by considering the venue for some of its own special events, “to bring you some business and to keep this this history and this building.”Even before SAAACAM’s offer, Casiano said he would give SAAACAM what’s left of an old neon sign for the Keyhole Club he found underneath the stage.“I can’t tell you what it means to the community. We’re so excited,” Mendez said.
Evans said the film was “the right thing to do,” having heard nothing about African-American history growing up on the West Side as an African-American and Latina.
