House Resolution 709 adopted
by the 83rd Texas State Legislature recognizes that Texas has been a Republic
on two different occasions. We celebrate March 2nd as Texas Independence Day
but we must never forget the one founded by our Tejano ancestors on April 6,
1813
On Wednesday August 6th, 2014
the Bexareno Genealogy Society and the Battle of Medina Historical
Society will address the San Antonio City Council requesting recognition
of this First Republic and the Emerald Green Flag of Liberty. This Green flag
flies at the Commissioners Court in Guadalupe County, at the Freedonia Hotel in
Nacogdoches, in front of the Presidio in Goliad and at the Tejano History and
Civil Rights Museum in Corpus ; but ironically it is no where to be seen where
it was founded. This First Republic was founded at the Spanish Governors
Palace, across the street from City Hall in downtown San Antonio by Bernardo
Gutierrez de Lara , a Tejano Hero on April 6th 1813. Our request is a simple
one; to fly the Green Flag in honor of our ancestors who fought and died in
order to be free and to fly it in front of the Spanish Governors Palace;
and we even donate the flag.
Please show your support by
signing up to speak or just be present at 6 PM. If we do not preserve, protect
and promote our Tejano History no one will do it for us.
