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.

During #BlackHistoryMonth, we'll be sharing the stories of important Black figures from UT history, beginning with the Precursors. In 1956, the first Black undergraduate students enrolled at @UTAustin. Fifty years later, several of these Longhorns shared their experiences.
