In an effort to make the Austin Campus more inclusive to the black community, Texas Longhorn players are requesting the removal of the song “The Eyes of Texas,” as well as the renaming of several campus buildings.
According to ESPN, Longhorn players want to rename four campus buildings that are named after confederate or racist figures. They also requested a permanent black athletic history in the school’s athletics Hall of Honor, more statues of people of color and the partial renaming of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium to Julius Whittier, the school's first black football player.
Time will tell is Texas will follow the path of Clemson and erase the muddier parts of the school's long tenured history.
