The history of the university is intertwined with the lives of African Americans — and we are committed to investigating that past, even when the campus landmarks don't adequately commemorate it.

On February 23, 2019, the Department of History hosted a walking tour that highlighted how the histories of persons of color, African Americans in particular, are intertwined with the namesakes and landmarks on UGA's campus.
