  • 20 Ways for Texas A&M to Fearlessly Confront Racism in 2020
    20 for 20 20 Ways for Texas A&M to Fearlessly Confront Racism in 2020 Foreword: To the leadership of Texas A&M University: The recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery among others have highlighted the systemic racism and discrimination that permeates the United States’ legal, educational, economic, political, healthcare, justice, and environmental systems. These crimes have laid bare the systemic racism and other forms of oppression that have created inequities and disproportionate burdens for communities of color within this country, specifically for Black Americans. Texas A&M University prides itself on its Core Values of excellence, integrity, leadership, loyalty, respect, and selfless service. Yet, racism and discrimination are present on our campus and undermine those values. In an effort to address these ills, we respectfully present the following proposals with the intent to positively affect the culture on our campus. We believe these proposals will spark fruitful, productive conversations that illuminate and advance the Aggie Core Values that we hope to consistently and uniformly uphold and implement. Our proposals are informed by informal surveys, calls, texts, and social media communications involving hundreds of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color- to include Hispanic and Latinx persons) current and former students. We solicited their input and requested they share their experiences of racism, discrimination, and other forms of marginalization as Texas A&M students. We heard stories of racism and discrimination on the Texas A&M campus that were decades old, as well as accounts of recent events that happened as recently as the Spring 2020 semester.

  • Racial Turmoil in Texas, 1865-1874
    Vg? RACIAL TURMOIL IN TEXAS, 1865-1874 THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER QF SCIENCE By Charles Virgil Keener, B. S. E. Denton, Texas December, 1971 Keener, Charles Virgil, Racial Turmoil in Texas, 1865- 1874. Master of Science (History), December, 1971, 134 pp., 1 table, bibliography, 87 titles. The primary concern of this work is to present a clearer picture of the Reconstruction period in Texas, particularly as it relates to the black. Little consideration is given to those blacks elected to public office; rather, concern is placed on those outside the then "Establishment." To view the black in terms of those elected to public office only presents a distorted picture and negates the influence blacks had on electoral politics. Source material was both primary and secondary, making use of material available in the Texas State Library Archives in Austin. Of particular importance was evidence unearthed by Robert W. Shook in his Ph.D. Disser- tation, "Federal Occupation and Administration of Texas, 1865-1870." A major problem is the absence of letters, diaries, newspapers, etc., written by the blacks themselves. For this reason, much of the history is, by necessity, really a white man's view of the period. This thesis is basically chronologically organized, progressing from the close of the Civil War to the "redemption" of Texas. The first chapter is concerned with Presidential Reconstruction as applied in Texas. An attempt is made 1 2 to prove Texas was not "reconstructed" in the intended sense of the word.
