Is there evidence for the assertion that Gaines was the leader in establishing Texas A&M University? I assume there is, otherwise the Department of History at Texas A&M wouldn't make that assertion. See [1]. But documents such as [2] state only "Voting along with Gaines in favor of the enabling legislation for a Texas land grant college was the entire delegation of black lawmakers in the 12th Legislature."
