Recuérdame: Roadside Descansos in East Texas

Send us a text

Join Community Folklife Fellow Blanca Jenkins as she takes you on a journey from Mexico to East Texas while exploring the historic and religious background, purpose, and use of crosses as focal points for roadside memorials. Mrs. Jenkins’ journey will also explore the changes over time to this tradition that is visible all around Texas and the role of faith to overcome grief and make sense of the loss of a loved one.
