Hundreds reportedly rallied to “Save the Alamo Cenotaph,” a monument which memorializes those individuals who died defending the Alamo in the pivotal 1836 battle of the Texas Revolution. The protest, held in San Antonio at Alamo Plaza, was organized by Lee Spencer White, founder of the Alamo Descendants Defenders Association (ADDA). One hundred years later, the State of Texas commissioned Pompeo Coppini, famed Italian sculptor and American immigrant, to capture this seminal slice of Texas history. He crafted the Cenotaph, which means “empty tomb” and is often dubbed the “Spirit of Sacrifice.” The marble monument sits on a granite base that immortalizes the spot where the outnumbered Alamo defenders lost their lives. At the center of Saturday’s protest was the Cenotaph and its possible relocation. The monument is part of a multi-million dollar master plan developed by the Texas General Land Office (GLO) and the nonprofit Alamo Endowment to Reimagine the Alamo.
