Steering Committee Charge
The charge to the steering committee of the Slavery, Race, and Memory Project is rooted in the inception of the Wake Forest’s History Project: to correct historical inaccuracies and omissions, while acknowledging the University’s dealings with slavery and its legacies.
Therefore the goal of the SRMP is to develop, support, implement, and disseminate curricular, co-curricular, scholarly and public history-based approaches to examining and interrogating Wake Forest’s history with slavery and racism; analyzing how the institution has (and has not) remembered and remembers its historical embeddedness in racism and discriminatory policies and practices; and sustaining, creating, and educating about the connections between the original campus and Wake Forest, NC and Wake Forest University and the broader Winston-Salem community.
