Construction at the Alamo.
From Texas Public Radio:
The Alamo is the cradle of Texas liberty, but it’s also the site of a Catholic cemetery. The famous battleground served as a mission to area Catholics for many years before it was secularized and memorialized in Texas history.
American Indians in San Antonio used Indigenous Peoples Day to draw attention to the recent discovery of human remains on the site.
