The Precursors–We Are Texas East Mall

The Precursors—We Are Texas East Mall is a commemorative space dedicated to the students, faculty, and staff members who helped the university along its historic path. At the figurative center of this commemoration will be the Precursors – the Black students who integrated the University in the 1950s.  

The Precursors—We Are Texas East Mall will provide a community-building addition to the campus landscape. In doing so, it joins other public-facing campus projects, such as the highly successful Landmarks Public Art Program, in advancing the pedagogical mission of The University of Texas at Austin.
