University of Texas Statue Removals and Historical Revisionism
University of Texas at Austin President Greg Fenves ordered the overnight removal of several Confederate statues from the campus main mall, including likenesses of Robert E. Lee and James Stephen Hogg. The decision followed the events in Charlottesville, Virginia, and a task force recommendation initiated after the 2015 Charleston church shootings. The statues are being relocated to the Briscoe Center for American History.
