Texas history has long forgotten Texas Col. Juan Seguin and his Tejanos performing the military funeral service for the burnt ashes of the defenders of the Alamo.

Seguin led the procession back to the Alamo and placed the large pile of ashes into the coffin and repeated the 21-gun salutes.

In honor of Black History Month, Texas history has long forgotten Joe, Col. William Travis’ slave. Having been spared his life for being a black slave, Joe would accompany Mrs. Susanna Dickenson to Gen. Sam Houston and tell his story of the Battle of the Alamo. Most of what Texas history knows about the Alamo is what Joe told the Texas Cabinet on March 20, 1836. The sad truth is that Joe entered the Alamo as a slave, and he left the Alamo still a slave. Texas history may have forgotten Joe, but we should all remember, and honor, all our Texas and Tejano heroes, especially the courage and bravery of Joe, Col. Travis’ slave.
