Last night, Garrett's death reverberated beyond Austin and made its way to the walls of Los Angeles. In both LA & Oxnard, protesters will march in his memory, and in solidarity with his fiancée, his loved ones, and his comrades in Austin.https://t.co/JSyh2axue2

Today marks the 157th anniversary of the death of Sam Houston, who died on July 26, 1863. His last words were "Texas, Margaret, Texas." He was buried during a rainstorm in Oakwood Cemetery in Huntsville and, because of the Civil War, few people were in attendance. pic.twitter.com/IL2ECEdaRY
