A 13-day siege. A defiant pledge, “Victory or Death.” A 90-minute battle. A decisive loss. From the ashes of defeat, rose a battle cry: “Remember the Alamo.” Nearly 200 years later, those words have ricocheted across the world. How did this small battle leave such a large footprint?

We reveal why the Alamo became a worldwide phenomenon, what about it continues to strike a chord, and why the story includes something for everyone. Featuring The Alamo's Senior Curator, Historian & Lecturer Ernesto Rodriguez.
