Sun Radio sponsors MBC because we share the same values: authentic community connection over transactional relationships. Both organizations bring together people who care about what makes Austin special — from business innovators to arts champions.

Austin has changed dramatically since its last historic preservation plan — adopted in 1981, when the city had fewer than 350,000 residents. The equity-based plan includes 107 recommendations to better protect legacy businesses, murals, and the histories of communities of color.

Adam Powell of the Austin History Center Association joins us Wednesday, Mar. 25, to talk about why these stories matter.
