As Trump visits Alamo, Texas, famed battle is used to 'commemorate whiteness,' historians say

Dated January 12, 2021

The famed Alamo battle was fought more than 200 miles away from where President Donald Trump is expected to give a defiant speech on Tuesday, but historians say that by speaking in Alamo, Texas, Trump is bringing to mind a piece of history that is fraught with racist myths.

Alamo is a small town on the Texas-Mexico border named after the 19th-century mission and fortress in San Antonio where a Texas army was defeated by Mexican troops in 1836. Texans used the defeat at the Alamo as a rallying cry – "Remember the Alamo!" – in their fight for independence from Mexico.
