Maggies, Not Aggies: The Long History Of Opposition To Women At Texas A&M, Kara Alexander Culp
Journal of Texas History
Texas A&M University, a former all-male military school and the oldest public college in the state, is widely known for its conservative reputation. Drawing on archival documents and newspapers, this essay traces how the opposition to women at A&M evolved over the course of the school’s existence and examines the role former students played in shaping A&M’s identity. It argues that the school’s masculine reputation was intentionally crafted through constant pushback against official coeducation and an intentional burying of women’s historic involvement in order to create a narrative that was centered around male whiteness.

“We’Ve Got Black Power And That’S Gonna Go A Long Way”: Ruth Jefferson Of The Dallas Nwro And The Origins Of A Multiracial Coalition In Dallas, Katherine Bynum Chávez
Journal of Texas History
This article examines how welfare rights activism helped forge a Black–Brown coalition in Dallas in the late 1960s. Centering Black welfare organizer Ruth Jefferson, it traces her role in transforming struggles over public assistance into demands for community control and political power. Although Dallas’s racial order fostered competition between Black and Mexican American communities, activists recognized shared grievances, particularly police violence and state repression. Linking welfare rights, Black Power, Chicana/o activism, and the War on Poverty, the article argues that the coalition emerged through deliberate organizing against institutions that had long worked to keep these communities apart.
