Juan Seguin is known to some as one of the very bravest Texans in the struggle for Texas independence. Sequin began leading a group of Tejano soldiers against the Mexican government led by Santa Anna. His group of soldiers were at the Alamo when it came under siege by Santa Anna’s army. Colonel Travis asked Sequin to leave the Alamo to deliver a message, in hope of gaining more men to help defend the Alamo. Sequin wanted desperately to stay and fight with his men, but Travis ordered him to go. He reached General Sam Houston with his message, but was too late. Sequin wished to return to his troops at the Alamo, but Houston ordered him to stay. The Alamo fell while Sequin was away. Sequin stayed with Houston and was one of the heroes of the Battle of San Jacinto which won Texas independence. Sequin did return to the Alamo…to bury the bodies of his men whom Santa Anna had burned. He was a very loyal leader to his men.

Sequin was later elected to the Texas Senate and then became the Mayor of San Antonio. Sadly, as more Anglos moved into Texas, they tried to run all Tejanos out of Texas, including Sequin. It became very difficult for him to stay in Texas. Reluctantly, he returned to Mexico. There he was imprisoned for treason against the Mexican government. He was then forced to serve in the Mexican army in order to be released from prison. Later he was allowed to return to San Antonio, but it was still very difficult to be of Mexican heritage in Texas. He returned to Mexico and died believing that he had no home.

Our Fort Bend school is named after this brave and loyal hero of Texas independence. Students will learn a great deal about Texas history by studying this man’s legacy. They will also be exposed to many wonderful character traits, such as loyalty, bravery, perseverance, and dedication.
