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 Texas School for the Blind Campus, Austin, Texas Subject The topic of the resource Texas School for the Blind--Facilities; Race discrimination in education--Texas--Austin; People with disabilities--Institutional care--Texas--Austin Description An account of the resource Black and white panoramic photograph of the Texas School for the Black and white panoramic photograph of the Texas School for the Blind campus in Austin, Texas, appearing as a folded insert in the 1930-1931 school catalogue. The image shows multiple large, well-maintained brick buildings including the Administration Building, dormitories, and cottages, with manicured lawns and orderly pathways. This photograph documents the physical resources available to white visually impaired and deaf students in Austin during the same period that the Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute for Colored Youths operated with significantly fewer resources. When compared to the 1945 DeBerry inspection report describing debris, poorly maintained grounds, and inadequately clothed students at the Black institution, this image illustrates the material inequality experienced by Black disabled students under racial segregation in Austin.
