I chose the San Jacinto Monument at the San Jacinto battle field in Houston, TX. I picked this site because it is close to home, but also because we have a huge hispanic culture in the Houston area and it seems as if through out the years Texans have celebrated Texas Independence Day less and less to be political correct. I remember how we would have a big celebration every year at school for Texas independence, but since I have been a sub I've seen that the schools don't seem to celebrate it as much any more. The biggest problem I have is how people do not completely understand Texas Independence and that it was more than just some white guys trying to steal land from Mexico. There were several Mexicans who were a part of Texas' Independence.
