W & M First Black Residential Students

When Lynn Briley, Janet Brown and Karen Ely moved into their dorm rooms at the College of William and Mary in 1967, they made history twice, becoming the first African American residential students and the first African American female undergraduates. That was 50 years ago. On the next Another View we'll talk about their experiences on campus and the continuing efforts of the College of William and Mary to acknowledge and repair relationships with the African American Community. Our guests include Lynn Briley, Janet Brown, and Jacquelyn McLendon, Emerita Professor of English, and commemoration leader. Join us for the next Another View, Friday, August 4 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream us live on this blog!
