Abstract
ABSTRACT On Friday, May 18, 2018, the grounds of Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas were splashed with white acrylic paint and littered with flyers containing a brief, targeted manifesto: “It’s okay to be white.” Through interviews with Rothko Chapel staff members, I explore the various tensions that arise from a commemorative space that upholds a policy of radical tolerance—that is, an elevated human virtue that attempts to transcend the limitations of mere tolerance by requiring a deeper reflexivity toward acts of hate and violence—becoming the subject of an intolerant, violent act that challenged the central values of its mission.
