“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

Best Literacy Advocate: Andrea Vocab Sanderson
It wasn’t the art of poetry but rather the allure of an antique typewriter in her aunt’s home that first prompted Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson to write.
“She had this typewriter that I really loved. My sister and I would play on it all of the time, but we got fussed at, so I thought if I write something for real then she won’t shoo me off of it,” Sanderson says, laughing at the memory.
As she suspected, Sanderson was permitted the time needed to finish her poem and, while reading it aloud to her mom during the drive back to their home, realized the typewriter wasn’t the only thing she loved. “I remember being really excited to see her response to it,” she says. “For me, the love of writing has always been not just for myself but also for other people.”
