Erica Morris class at
Fairview presented: The Living Museum, Texas Struggles for Independence during the last
week of school. Led by a tour guide, guests followed Texas history beginning with
Mexicos independence and then the Battles of Alamo, Goliad, San Jacinto, and finally
the annexation into the United States of America. Guests were amazed at the amount of
knowledge memorized by the actors and the authenticity of props and costumes. All students
researched battles and people, wrote their reports, and created backdrops specific to
their event. Shown here is tour guide Tyesha Tinner describing Mexicos independence
in preface to the performance by Jonathan Espino as Father Hildalgo and Paige Aleman as
William Lamport.
