With These Hands: A Discussion of Davidson’s True History

Join us for a special virtual class commemorating With These Hands, a powerful representation of the contributions of those who helped shape Davidson College but who have previously been downplayed or unacknowledged. 

 

In 2019, members of the Board of Trustees were given the charge to rectify the wrongs of omission and obfuscation, to acknowledge vital contributors to our school history and to help Davidson reclaim its history in a fuller, more just, and more accurate way. They commissioned With These Hands as a part of that reconciliation.

 

Members of this committee will lead a discussion about creating the commemorative site and delve into the untold stories of labor, resilience, and legacy, fostering a deeper understanding of our shared history. The essence of the committee’s work is to acknowledge the past and imagine a new future.

Through engaging discussions and reflections, alumni will reconnect with the enduring values of community and purpose that define Davidson. 

Register by Friday, April 4.
