While Dora Guerra, a former rare-book librarian who worked at the Alamo library prior to retiring, told the WSJ that this debate – and even the building itself — has “ … turned into a circus,” with tourists regularly seeing gun-toting protesters (this is Texas, after all) surrounding the monument, it seems part of this fiery discussion can tie back to the Alamo’s fabled history according to Brian Franklin, Southern Methodist University’s associate director at the college’s Center for Presidential History.
“The Alamo has such a mythical status that everyone thinks they know its story, but maybe they only really know about one day, or a few moments,” Franklin explained, adding that “the devotion is almost religious.”
So, folks, here’s to the Alamo – let’s hope it’s still remembered by the time this highly-debated museum opens its doors.
