W&M's Reconciliation
More than a decade ago, William & Mary began the tough work of reconciling the institution and community with its history regarding the exploitation of African-American and Native peoples through the eras of slavery, Jim Crow and segregation. The university is deeply committed to this path of reconciliation through its administration and governance, historical research and scholarship, development of policy and procedure; and diversity and inclusion efforts.
