INCLUSION IS JUST PART OF THE STORY
“Perspectives: Tradition of Inclusion Left Out of William & Mary President’s Story,” Feb. 26, 2008
Inclusion is indeed part of [President Gene] Nichol’s story, but it is a minor issue in the chaos that Nichol created at W&M. And diversity of intellectual thought was not on his agenda.

“Perspectives: Black History Month Is More Important Now Than Ever,” Feb. 25, 2008
Amen to the article by Dr. Ewers, “Black History Month Is More Important Now Than Ever.” We must never forget “how we made it over” and “who prepared the way.” The youth of today must grab hold of the strength, hope and perseverance that sustained generations of African-Americans who lived with a vision of a better tomorrow for their children and grandchildren. They worked hard to make that vision a reality. We owe them “much” love and respect!
