- Title

- Authors
Slattery, Patrick
- Abstract
This article discusses visual culture on two university campuses: The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University. Specifically, this article explores the racist and historical implications of statues of Confederate soldiers and slaveholders, and the disproportionate underrepresentation of students of color on these campuses. The author connects his own autobiographical experiences to the visual culture of the two campuses and advances a proposal for addressing racism and visual representation.
