Wake Forest University is renaming one of its campus buildings as part of a review of its history as the university seeks a more inclusive view of its past.
Wake Forest President Nathan Hatch announced last week that Wingate Hall will no longer carry the name of the university’s fourth president, Washington Manly Wingate, who served terms both before and after the Civil War.
