Abstract:Having felt strong sympathy for the Black Lives Matter movement and fully supporting the removal of Confederate monuments, a Washington and Lee University graduate and retired college president was challenged by the proposal in 2020 to remove Robert E. Lee's name from his alma mater. He argues that removing Lee's name from W&L would have been neither in the best interest of the university nor the larger society it serves. Recognizing the historic role that Lee played as president of W&L in the last five years of his life, the Trustees rejected the proposal and embraced Lee's mixed legacy as a challenge and an opportunity to do the work that is at the heart of a liberal arts education.
