Dr. Raúl A Ramos

Professor John Haas and Dr. Raúl A. Ramos examine the false narratives of the Battle of the Alamo, the effects of Manifest Destiny, and the continued use of the Alamo as a symbol of Anglo-Saxon dominance. They discuss how the Alamo has been used to erase indigenous people, support southern expansion of slavery, and create a false mythology of a heroic last stand.
