KVUE | CHRON
For months, professors, students and preservation groups have been fighting to save the School of Social Work building, which dates back to 1933 and was once the University Junior High School, which played a large role in the desegregation of Texas public schools. Its model of a successfully integrated school eventually led to the end of school segregation in Austin. Replace an historic building with a football practice facility that facilitates young men acquiring CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy)? Of course… it’s America.
