From early San Antonio settlers to 1836 Alamo Defenders and other notable figures such as Juan Seguin and Adina De Zavala, Tejanos at the Alamo will highlight the many important Tejano figures who have made an indelible impact on the Alamo and the larger San Antonio community.

Hispanic Heritage Month, observed from September 15 to October 15 each year in the United States, encompasses the independence anniversaries of seven Latin American countries, including Mexico.
