Civil Rights in Burnt Orange: An Oral History and Policy Project

The CSRD Graduate Research Associates will present the Civil Rights in Burnt Orange Project, an oral history and policy project that chronicles UT and the City of Austin’s transition from Jim Crow to racial integration. Through digitally filmed oral histories, Civil Rights in Burnt Orange will focus on the Civil Rights Movement’s impact on the 40 Acres. Particular attention will be paid to the transformation of UT athletes, student-community relations, and campus climate since the civil rights era. 

There will also be a research presentation by students of the CSRD Student Fellows Program.
