Front Cover: A 1928 illustration of the face of Olmos Dam in San Antonio. Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, Washington, D.C. In this issue of the Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Char Miller’s article “Streetscape Environmentalism: Floods, Social Justice, and Political Power in San Antonio, 1921–1974” explores how water projects such Olmos Dan created a geography of uneven flood protection that left the city’s west side more exposed to inundation than other parts of the Alamo City. By the 1970s, west-side residents had had enough and launched a movement that deserves to be recognized as a pioneering effort for environmental justice.
