Visitors have asked daily about the basement at the Alamo thanks to the 1985 movie “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.” We're grateful for Paul Reubens' unforgettable contribution to pop culture. There is no basement in the Alamo Church, but there is one under our gift shop! Rest in peace.

On this day in 1969, police raided the #Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in NYC. The #LGBTQ rights movement began when the community, whose central figures were trans people of color, fought back against police for arresting them for living authentically. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #EqualityForAll
