When he received his ancestry results in late 2019, his strongest place of origin in Africa was Nigeria (22 percent), followed by Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone (a combined 17 percent). But one year later, after hearing that friends results had changed, Johnson logged in to his account to discover that his had shifted too: Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone had risen to 22 percent while Nigeria had dropped to 17 percent. In the end, he visited Ghana first.

UT students react to The Eyes of Texas report with disappointment

Javier Wallace was born and raised in the shadow of the University of Texas. His grandfather Leonard Hill worked as a custodian at the institution starting in the late 1940s, when the university was not admitting Black students. Hill’s sisters worked there too, performing cooking and custodial duties on campus. Wallace, a Ph.D. candidate at UT, considers himself a legacy student of the university  not because of his mother who earned her undergraduate degree there in the 1980s, but because of his grandfather. “I have the opportunity to receive the highest degree that the university offers as the descendent of a person who was literally never able to go to the university because of their race,” Wallace said. “Any subject about the University of Texas hits close to home for me because the eyes of Texas have literally always been upon me.”
