I started this project to spread information about my undergrad school's name, “Dixie”, and its unpalatable ties to the Antebellum South. Additionally, the goal was to encourage Southern Utah residents to engage in discussions about renaming Dixie State University.
The website exhibits newspapers, yearbooks and articles that connect the University to the Confederacy. Growing up in St.George, I found that much of this information wasn't widely known.
I wanted the project to be firm, but not overbearing, and prompt the reader to think about these important issues.
