“I think it would be a disservice and an injustice not to show what we went through, and what I went through, what my family went through as Black Americans in San Antonio,” Wyatt said in a recent City Council meeting. The Alamo Trust told Spectrum News 1 that there aren't even renderings yet, but a major question Wyatt wants answered is who is going to decide what’s going in the museum.
