“Tejanos at the Alamo” is a new addition to the annual Battle of the Alamo Commemoration lineup.
The Alamo featured in-person activities throughout the day on Saturday to demonstrate Tejano life in the 1830s. Demonstrations included corn grinding, cooking, artillery, and more, Alamo officials said.
There was also a virtual event, “The Alamo Addresses: Tejanos of the Texas Revolution” at 10 a.m., which you can watch in the video player above.
“It’s important for people to know that this is a bigger story,” Alamo curator Ernesto Rodriguez said.
Several panelists took part in the discussion, including:
