  • African Americans at the College of William and Mary from 1950 to 1970
    African Americans at the College of William and Mary from 1950 to 1970 By: Jacqueline Filzen 1 Introduction This paper investigates the admission policies and the experiences of the first African American students at the College of William and Mary between 1950 and 1970—the height of the civil rights era. During these tense times in American history African American emerged as leaders of social change by enrolling in institutions of higher learning such as William and Mary. In addition to exploring the experience of the first African Americans, this paper also explores the attitudes of students, faculty, and William and Mary’s administration to integration. African Americans graduated from American colleges as early as the 1820s. The first African Americans to receive a college degree included John Rosswumm, Edward Jones, and Lucius Twilight.1 These men went on to becoming successful newspaper editors, businessmen, and local politicians. Other African Americans joined their ranks and received college degrees between 1820 and 1900. “W.E.B. Dubois reported that 390 blacks had earned diplomas from white colleges and universities between 1865 and 1900”.2 Like “many of the nation’s most prestigious, predominantly white universities in the South—which did not admit any blacks until the 1950s or 1960s”3 the College of William and Mary did not admit an African American student until 1951. Its decision to admit an African American student was not due to the school’s support for integration. Rather this decision was taken to avoid any legal repercussions if the College had done otherwise. Furthermore the College only admitted its first African American student after much deliberation and consultation with the Board of Visitors and the Attorney General.

I feel lucky to have a unique perspective on William & Mary. As a Muscarelle Museum of Art Foundation board member, an emeritus member of the William & Mary Law School Foundation board and a past president of the Alumni Association, I’ve seen first-hand the resources and commitment it takes to keep William & Mary on the leading edge of higher education — and how diligently the university puts our contributions to work.

For those who have experienced a chapel service at RHS or witnessed the School’s marching band on Divisions, you will have some appreciation of how important music is to the pupils and to the key events in the school year. The positive benefits of music are well-documented - 2019 from improving well-being and bolstering the immune system, to developing co-ordination. For many of our / pupils it is a valuable counterbalance to the pressures 20 of work and a chance to build friendships through the collaborative nature of making music. This year the programme looks as rich as it is broad, providing opportunities not only for members of the School but also for wider participation. Highlights this year include the welcome return of the award-winning singer Matt Ford, to sing with the Chris Ingham Trio and the RHS Big Band. The joint concert with the British Army Band and the RHS Concert Band in February should also raise the roof! There is also a performance of Verdi’s Requiem with the RHS Chapel Choir, Holbrook Choral Society and the Ipswich Choral Society. Later in the year we present a semi-staged performance of one of the greatest English operas ever written, Dido and Aeneas; and an afternoon of fun and laughter with our annual Come and Sing event, featuring songs from a number of Disney classics.
