Controversy surrounds proposed Alamo cenotaph move

Protests are being planned to keep the cenotaph from being moved at Alamo Plaza. But one city councilman says it can't remain where it is.

Roberto Trevino says the iconic cenotaph at the Alamo will have to be moved for the $450 million plan to redevelop the plaza.

The 60-foot cenotaph honors the Alamo defenders killed during the 13-day siege on the mission.

Trevino says the plan is to move the cenotaph about 500 feet to the south in order to properly tell the story of the Alamo.

A "save the cenotaph" rally is set for next Saturday at 10 a.m.
