On Tuesday, Baylor University dedicated two new statues on its campus to the university’s first two Black graduates, the late Rev. Robert L. Gilbert, and Mrs. Barbara A. Walker. Dax Duncan, with the Baylor University Journalism Partnership with KWBU, covered the event.
Carved in clay, Chief Big Elk of the Omaha Tribe stood tall, a traditional roach headdress on his head, his stance and expression conveying a combination of strength and compassion.
