Fifty years later, the university is hosting a yearlong commemoration in recognition of that historic moment. Taking place throughout the 2017-2018 academic year, will include a series of special events, guest speakers and performances to honor the three alumnae and the contributions of other African-Americans, past and present, to the university.
In this video feature, Briley, Ely and Strafer remember their time as students at W&M.
