“A lot of students want to have their pictures taken [at Founders Mall] because of how pretty it is, and how Baylor-esque it is. And so with not being able to go around there at all, you have to re-plan your entire set of locations and rethink how you can still have a Baylor senior photo shoot without a location that’s so central to Baylor,” campus photographer Catherine Kramer said.

The commission detailed in their December 2020 report that it’s necessary for the university to “publicly and visibly” recognize Baylor’s founders and original trustees as slaveowners to tell a more complete story.
