BY ERIC KOLENICH Richmond Times-Dispatch WILLIAMSBURGÂ â The College of William & Mary has renamed three buildings and a department that currently honor supporters of the Confederacy, the schoolâs 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 schoolâs first Black student, a man who studied LGBTQ traditions and a descendent of a U.S. president. âThe past is the past, but how we know it and how we tell it evolves as we learn more and as our community changes,â president Katherine Rowe said at Fridayâs board of visitors meeting. âWilliam & Mary must pursue truth telling.â
