Title A name given to the resource Segregated by Design: Disability Education in Austin, Texas Subject The topic of the resource Race discrimination in education--Texas--Austin; People with disabilities--Institutional care--Texas--Austin; Segregation in education--Texas--Austin; Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute for Colored Youths; Texas School for the Blind; Separate but equal doctrine--Texas Description An account of the resource Documentation of the unequal treatment of Black disabled students in Austin, Texas. Drawing on records from the Texas State Board of Control and the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, the collection presents primary evidence that the state of Texas failed to meet even the minimum standard of separate but equal established by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) in its provision of care and education for Black deaf, blind, and visually impaired students. Items in this collection document conditions at the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute for Colored Youths including poorly maintained grounds, inadequately clothed students, and student-funded music programs, and compare them against the extensive state-funded resources documented at the white Texas School for the Blind. The collection further demonstrates how the 1928 Austin City Plan compounded these inequalities by displacing the Black institution and limiting transportation access for its students. Together these items illustrate how racial segregation produced material inequality for Black disabled students in Austin, and how government policy shaped who had access to resources and care.

Title A name given to the resource What Is Furnished," Catalogue of Texas School for the Blind, 1930–1931, Page 11 Subject The topic of the resource Texas School for the Blind--Student services; Visually impaired students--Transportation--Texas--Austin; Disability--Institutional care--Texas--Austin; Race discrimination in education--Texas--Austin; Separate but equal--Texas Description An account of the resource Page 11 of the Catalogue of the Texas School for the Blind, 1930–1931, containing the section titled "What Is Furnished." The section explicitly documents that indigent students were provided clothing and transportation to and from school as a formal institutional provision. Parents unable to furnish transportation were required to submit a sworn affidavit accompanied by a tax certificate documenting their property holdings. No equivalent provision, process, or administrative record documenting transportation to and from school for students at the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute for Colored Youths has been located in the Texas State Board of Control records. This documentary absence, set against the simultaneous forced relocation of Black Austin residents to East Austin under the 1928 City Plan — away from the Institute's location on Bull Creek Road in northwest Austin — suggests that Black families bore transportation burdens that the state formally absorbed for white students.
