Exhibits
The materials in the Pathways to Diversity Collection have been used to create exhibits which highlight various aspects of desegregation and integration at our respective institutions.
Commemorating Desegregation at Furman
Furman University commemorated its 50th anniversary of desegregation by exploring the events that led to this watershed moment and honoring the pioneers who fought to achieve equality at the institution.
Integration at W&L
The Washington and Lee University Board of Trustees affirmed a nondiscriminatory admissions policy in 1964, and the first Black students enrolled two years later in 1966. This site aims to provide information about the events leading up to and after Washington and Lee’s desegregation and integration.

Paving the Way
