Hearth: Memorial to the Enslaved

One of W&M’s core values is belonging. The university erected Hearth: Memorial to the Enslaved as a distinguished landmark of inclusion and a local hub for community building. This memorial resembles a fireplace and features the names of people who are known to have been enslaved by the university. It was a key priority of The Lemon Project: A Journey of Reconciliation, which was established to research and publicly report on the university’s role in slavery.
