The Alamo Visitor Center and the Museum will contain many new exhibits and even a 4D theater that the camphor experience with simulated smoke, sitting, shaking, and cold glow sparks that fly into the air should be alive. According to The Alamo Trust, the filming for the film that it will show is now.

A museum planning committee has delivered input to ensure that the museum tells the whole story of everyone before, during and after the struggle for the independence of independence from Mexico from Texas in Texas in Texas.

However, the district commissioner Rebeca Clay-Flores questioned the executive director of Alamo Trust, Kate Rogers, whether people with color were actually heard in the committee.

Rogers assured Clay-Flores that they were heard: “I think the members of the committee were involved in the design throughout, and they will see their contributions that are reflected when the museum is opened. And I will only remind the dish that our goal is to trust that people, all visitors, come into the Alamo in the future and see themselves in history.”

The district commissioner Grant Moody agreed: “I just want to say from my experience, and obviously I was in several sessions of the committee, I have the feeling that everyone has a voice and was included in this conversations.”

Clay-Flores replied to Moody: “And my point, with all respect, Commissioner Moody, as I said last year, when they said:” From their experience “from their experience as a white man. I did not say that white people in this committee felt uncertain and silenced.

Clay-Flores asked Rogers to take further details about the input and outreach efforts of the Alamo Community input and the efforts of the district as part of the continued district financing.

The district contributed 25 million US dollars to Alamo Plaza's makeover. The city has also committed tens of million dollars, but most of the half of the billion dollar project comes from the state.
