"The Eyes of Texas" is such a controversial school song that last year the UT President established a Committee to investigate the origins of the song and its evolution over time. The Committee concluded that the song did not have explicit, obvious racist origins. Recently in series of detailed archival studies, Professor Alberto A. Martinez argued that the Committee drew on knowledge that relied entirely on the testimony of an utterly unreliable witness who participated in the creation of the song. This panel will convene to try to establish whether the Presidential Committee got the history of the origins of the song right.
