William & Mary renames three buildings, history department that honored Confederate supporters

BY ERIC KOLENICH Richmond Times-Dispatch WILLIAMSBURG — The College of William & Mary has renamed three buildings and a department that currently honor supporters of the Confederacy, the school’s latest move in a years-long process to shed references to men who supported the Confederacy, enslavement and racism. Instead, the university will honor the school’s first Black student, a man who studied LGBTQ traditions and a descendent of a U.S. president. “The past is the past, but how we know it and how we tell it evolves as we learn more and as our community changes,” president Katherine Rowe said at Friday’s board of visitors meeting. “William & Mary must pursue truth telling.”

W&M campus structures named for trailblazing alumni

Morton Hall will become John E. Boswell Hall, named for an alumnus, recognized scholar and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. The Arcade at Cary Field, the arched walkway at Zable Stadium that serves as its northern colonnade, will be named the Arthur W. Matsu Arcade after the university’s first known Asian-American student and William & Mary’s first “true gridiron hero.” Taliaferro Hall will become Hulon L. Willis Sr. Hall, named after the first African-American student to enroll at William & Mary.
