SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Kate Rogers, president and CEO of the Alamo Trust Inc., is out of her role amid a week that included rebukes from two state leaders.<\/p>\n
The switch comes after a Columbus Day social media post included a reference to Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Day and a resurfaced dissertation that allegedly misrepresents the site\u2019s history, according to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.<\/p>\n
KSAT attempted to reach out to Rogers by email Friday morning; however, an automatic reply stated that Rogers \u201cis no longer at Alamo Trust Inc.\u201d <\/p>\n
The email directed inquiries to two other Alamo officials.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Rogers\u2019 page on The Alamo\u2019s website returns a 404 error message<\/a>. The page formerly said Rogers served as president and CEO of the Alamo Trust, the nonprofit overseeing the site.<\/p>\n On Monday, an X account for The Alamo posted two messages<\/a>: one wishing its followers a happy Columbus Day, and another recognizing Indigenous people, the Texas Tribune reported.<\/p>\n Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham responded on X, calling the posts \u201cfrankly unacceptable.\u201d <\/p>\n By Tuesday, the message referencing Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Day was removed. Buckingham\u2019s agency oversees the Alamo.<\/p>\n
