TCU announces formation and activation of recently commissioned historical initiative

得克萨斯州沃斯堡(8月11日. 13, 2020) – bc体育’s recently announced initiative to study the university’s historical connection to racism, slavery and the Confederacy has been officially named the 比赛 and 和解倡议 (RRI). Teresa Abi-Nader Dahlberg, provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, appointed 小弗雷德里克·古丁., Ph.D., associate professor of African American Studies in 约翰五世. 罗奇荣誉学院, chair of the initiative. 该倡议被委托 校长维克多·J. 小Boschini. and Board of Trustees Chair Mark L. 约翰逊 and has the unanimous support of TCU’s entire Board.

“This scholarly journey into our past will both enlighten and provide extensive institutional knowledge from which to build our preferred future of a more diverse and welcoming 达尔伯格说. “We will hear, learn and discover the more nuanced and perhaps complicated aspects of our history that might not have been frequently shared or even 承认.” 

The initiative will be led by a 15-member university academic team that will undertake a rigorous self-examination to reflect on the institution, its founders, traditions, and named structures on campus as they relate to slavery, the Confederacy and its 遗产. This inquiry will draw upon existing grassroots efforts, such as the TCU Portrait Project, the Indigenous Peoples historic marker, Intersectionality Month and other activities that have helped document and reveal contemporary and historic patterns of racism and racial inequality at TCU. The academic endeavor, which begins during the fall semester, will span many years with the first year of research focusing primarily on Black Americans and TCU’s experiences with racism, slavery and the Confederacy.

“Our study of TCU’s history will provide critical perspective, deepen understanding and result in recommendations for action and healing,” said Gooding. “历史 research previously conducted by campus members who worked on related projects for a number of years provides a firm foundation for us to continue this necessary work. We have great expectations that this initiative will continue to move us all forward 走向和解.”

Regular updates, timelines, event information and opportunities for campus members to participate and engage in dialogue regarding TCU’s past, present and future, will 被安置在 RRI网页. RRI also will immediately open channels of communication with the broader TCU community through the placement of signage next to the statue of Addison and Randolph Clark, TCU’s founders, both to signal the start of the initiative and to encourage continued 社区参与.

TCU becomes the second university in Texas to join the 研究奴隶制的大学 consortium, t在这里by aligning itself with numerous other universities nationally and internationally to address contemporary issues, such as race and higher education, inequality, and the complicated 遗产 of slavery on campuses, in communities, and 在我们的世界里.

A final report and recommendations from the first year of study will include modeling how to explore other identities in the university’s shared history.
