A Conversation with San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg
Date TBD

Ron Nirenberg has been mayor of San Antonio for half a decade and he served on the City Council before that, but nothing could have prepared him for the last two years. How have a pandemic, an economic downturn and a movement for racial justice changed life in Texas’ second-largest city?
