WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (WVEC) — The College of William and Mary is trying to understand its history.
Campus leaders are calling for ideas for a memorial to African Americans enslaved by the college hundreds of years ago.
The memorial project is part of an ongoing initiative at William and Mary to research its involvement in slavery.
In 2007, the student assembly passed a resolution calling for the college to research its history, make it public and then build a memorial to the slaves.
