A research collective unveiling histories of racism and violence registered in the Rice University campus—from its land and buildings, to its monuments and ornaments. It also recognizes moments of resistance, both organized and daily.
The Racial Geography Project is an initiative of the Rice University Task Force on Slavery, Segregation and Racial Injustice.
