The relatively new Cesar Chavez statue on the the University of Texas campus is by far my favorite recent addition to the school. Responding to criticism that all of the statues on campus are ridiculous representations of old dead white men, with nary a minority or woman in sight, the statue was erected in the hopes of telling the truthful story behind the history of Texas. The Barbara Jordan statue will not be too far behind, and hopefully they’ll make her look as badass as Chavez. If you’re not inspired to lead a revolt looking at that thing, then check your pulse.
