An instance from the Trouillot reading is the use of opposing narratives as defiant tactics, “Demonstrations, parades, editorials, and demands for various municipal or court orders —including one blocking the streets now leading to the Alamo— punctuate the debate between increasingly angry parties” (pg. 9-10). This phrase illustrates how oppressed groups are using public actions like rallies, articles, and parades to challenge the mainstream narrative of the Alamo, which has historically elevated Anglo defenders and repressed Indigenous and Mexican opinions. By adding their own narratives that emphasize immigration, deportation, and land takeover, these movements are doing more than just rewriting history. They are reclaiming space in the public mind and demanding institutional accountability.
