    As We Saw It
    The Story of Integration at the University of Texas at Austin

    Gregory J. Vincent, Virginia A. Cumberbatch, Leslie A. Blair

    DESCRIPTION

    In 2016, the University of Texas at Austin celebrated two important


    milestones: the thirtieth anniversary of the Heman Sweatt
    Symposium on Civil Rights and the sixtieth anniversary of the first
    black undergraduate students to enter the university. These historic
    moments aren’t just special; they are relevant to current
    conversations and experiences on college campuses across the
    country. The story of integration at UT against the backdrop of the
    Jim Crow South is complex and momentous—a story that
    necessitates understanding and sharing. Likewise, this narrative is
    inextricably linked to current conversations about students’
    negotiations of identity and place in higher education.
