Gov. Abbott is in San Antonio to speak at the 2022 Tough Tejano Awards luncheon where Rep. John Lujan will be recognized for his work in the Alamo City.
“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:
Jesús “Frank” de la Teja, Ph.D., University Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History, Texas State University
