UT Austin students plan commencement walkout over 'Eyes of Texas' songThe song, written in 1903, has been the subject of controversy in the past year for its links to campus minstrel shows.The song, written in 1903, has been the subject of controversy in the past year for its links to campus minstrel shows with some white students wearing blackface. The title is linked to a saying from Confederate Army Commander Robert E. Lee. It is typically played before and after every UT sporting event.Chair of The Eyes of Texas History Committee, Dr. Richard Reddick, said the report took an honest look at the song. He said it keeps evolving."There are so many times when the song takes a turn, and unlike most school songs, it's actually being used lyrically to point out injustice, academic freedom. One of the favorite parts for me, or discoveries, was the 1966 march from South Texas of Mexican-American farmworkers working, marching for civil rights, marching for working wages, using 'The Eyes of Texas,' so that evolution tells me the song every time it's sung," Reddick said.
