Lorenzo Hernandez, 5, dances as San Antonio musician Rudi Harst sings an improvised song about him during a healing arts workshop hosted by a group of San Antonio-based artists at the El Progreso Memorial Library in Uvalde Saturday.“Shhhh” is not a sound you will hear at the El Progreso Memorial Library in Uvalde.
In another part of the expansive building, poets Naomi Shihab Nye and Jenny Browne led an open poetry workshop, asking kids to bring thoughts to mind, then form them into words on index cards. She heard from a friend that San Antonio scholar Ricardo Romo had made a connection with El Progreso Director Mendell Morgan, who sees the library as a community resource and gathering spot for anyone in need of focused distraction and positive energy.
Jayce Carmelo Luevanos is one of the 19 slain Robb Elementary students whose names adorn the “tunnel of love” in the library’s entrance hall, a makeshift memorial and repository for gifts and cards sent to Uvalde from across the U.S. Luevanos’s 8-year-old friend Pedro watched as his siblings and other kids busily crafted, collaged and painted. Noah, 11 and ready to enter sixth grade, made a miniature hat out of a peace sign, adorned with orange tape and dyed bird feathers.
