Our nonprofit exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation.

Preservation Austin is thrilled to share that East Austin’s Green & White Grocery was officially designated a City of Austin Landmark. From the store’s founding during segregation to its endurance in the face of gentrification and increased displacement, the story of Green & White Grocery is a testament to the resilience of Austin’s Mexican American community.

Join our intern Matthew Medina on a tour of the sites associated with the advocacy and organizing of the Austin Chicano Huelga Movement.
