This is what my post production doc @StillOvercoming, the history of integration at the University of Texas is about!!!!!

We are looking for finishing funds. My DMs are open. My producing partner @HiCaseyV is also still here to chat about the work.

We knew back in 2018.

✴️✴️ @UTAustin is sharing very little information about the abrupt firings of staff @dcce and across the university. Please contact @lilykepner if you or staff you know are impacted.

Yikes this is NO GOOD.

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

Breaking: The University of Texas at Austin has laid off an undetermined number of employees who used to work in diversity, equity and inclusion programs, according to a Tuesday email from President Jay Hartzell. https://t.co/8MEopn9Z1Y

[Story Knife @StoryKnifeMedia]

A lot of those people were helping or have helped us preserve and tell the full story of integration past, present and future.

We are saddened to lose such a powerful connection and resource at @utdcce within @UTAustin system.

The assault on Black student population on PWI campuses is now complete.

Black athletes and a less than 1% Black (not 1st Gen African) will be our norm on PWI’s across our country.

The intentionality.

To honor Juneteenth.

A clip from our documentary on integration at The University of Texas at Austin! @StillOvercoming

My Aunt was the first Black person hired to help integrate the campus in 1956. Almetris Marsh Duren.

The endowment has doubled in 2 years.

[The Daily Texan @thedailytexan]

As @UTAustin’s $42 billion endowment is fueled by the oil industry, activists are pushing for the University’s divestment from fossil fuels.

Although, its long-standing relationship with the industry and state government may make it a distant goal.

Start with the students. Hold the University Regents accountable.

[The Daily Texan @thedailytexan]

OPINION: @UTAustin students should consider the questionable roots of “The Eyes of Texas,” as well as the effect it has on their fellow students, when voting in the upcoming referendum regarding the controversial Alma Mater.
