150 Connections Mural
About the Mural
“150 Connections,” located just east of the Clark Brothers Statue, is a collaboration between ArtOrg student artists, supervised by Associate Professor of Art Adam Fung, and the Race & Reconciliation Initiative.
In commemoration of TCU’s Sesquicentennial, RRI utilized its research on TCU’s history with slavery, the Confederacy and racism to generate a list of 150 faculty, staff, students and alumni who have broken barriers, demonstrated ethical leadership and shaped TCU to become a more diverse and inclusive campus. While not every person from this list could be included on the mural due to limited space, the individuals selected serve as past and present representatives who have meaningfully contributed towards a campus culture where everyone is respected and valued.
