Texas State History Museum Abruptly Cancels Speech by Authors of New Book on The Alamo Breaking News
The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin abruptly canceled an event scheduled for Thursday evening featuring the authors of a new book on the Alamo and its role in the mythology of Texas. Chris Tomlinson, a
Houston Chronicle columnist and one of the authors of the book,
Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth, said a museum employee told him they had to cancel the event following a social media campaign by right-wingers and an order from the board, made up of Gov. Greg Abbott (R), Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R), state House Speaker Dade Phelan (R), two other GOP state lawmakers, and a citizen board member.
