Lonnie Bunch, secretary of Smithsonian Institution, reflected on the power and purpose of history as the keynote speaker for William & Mary’s 2024 Charter Day, held Feb. 9 in Kaplan Arena. The annual tradition celebrates the university’s founding 331 years ago and offers an opportunity for the community to reflect on William & Mary’s past while keeping an eye toward its future, guided by its strategic plan and core values.“What history does more than anything else is it challenges us to live up to [Abraham] Lincoln’s desire for a more perfect union,” said Bunch. “Embracing the complicated past helps us realize that there is nothing more powerful than a people, than a nation steeped in its history. And there’s nothing more noble than honoring all of our ancestors by remembering.”Read more about the ceremony: https://news.wm.edu/2024/02/12/power-of-history-arts-celebrated-at-wms-charter-day/Watch his honorary degree video, celebrating his life and career: https://youtu.be/CCcXSAr1DEc... ... ...
