The College of William & Mary will change the names of several buildings that honor men with ties to the Confederacy and white supremacy.
The school’s board of visitors voted on Friday to rename Taliaferro Hall, Tyler Hall, Morton Hall and Cary Field.
The new names will honor alumni who helped make education more diverse and accessible to marginalized groups.
“Today’s actions highlight the importance of acknowledging and commemorating the complete and complex history of an institution that represents this nation in full,” Rector John Littel said in a press release.
