Scoring Virginia’s first points of 2026 in the Commonwealth Clash, the No. 16-ranked women’s tennis opened conference play in Blacksburg with a dominant 7-0 win over Virginia Tech.

To celebrate Black History Month, we look back into the archives to see the stories of Black trailblazers who attended the University who made a difference on Grounds. From Rosa Parks giving a speech in Old Cabell Hall, to the Corner being segregated, these moments in the University community’s history remind us that history can be both inspiring and painfully complex. By revisiting these stories, we honor those who challenged injustice, created space where there was none and helped transform the University into a more inclusive and welcoming place.1950sSept. 23, 1950“Does Not Seek Admission Here, Negro States”By author unlisted In September of 1950, African American schoolteacher, Alfreda Louise Madison pursued her graduate studies degree despite racial and systemic barriers. University Dean of Education Lindsey J. Stiles wrote to Madison expressing to her that because University President Colgate Darden was absent from Charlottesville, she was unable to confidently say whether Madison could enroll considering the circumstances for the time. Madison’s story is a common tale that reflects the commitment to higher education that Black individuals had during a time before civil and equal rights.1960sFeb. 22, 1963“Corner Segregation” By Richard SeldinIn 1963, only one Corner restaurant was open for Black students to eat, spend time and — most importantly to writer Richard Seldin — encounter a diversity of thought. Seldin argues that the University’s purpose should be to “broaden [a] student’s mind,” as it did when inviting controversial speakers to Grounds, yet notes that it does not extend this “liberality” to the Corner, a breeding place for discourse and education. This article critiques the University’s hypocrisy and calls on the administration to demand change from the restaurants’ owners.1970sMarch 28, 1975“Making Jefferson ‘Human’”By Janet WilsonIn 1975, The Cavalier Daily discussed the controversial figure Thomas Jefferson. This article confronts Jefferson’s legacy and accomplishments when compared to his failures and hypocrisy regarding enslaved laborers. To get a student perspective, four students were interviewed, two Black women and two white men. The Black students emphasized that the University should be upfront about its founder’s reputation, whereas the white students said it’s inappropriate to expose a man’s private affairs considering all of his accomplishments for the University. This article shows the difficulty that Black students faced, and continue to face, when grappling with the legacy of racism and enslavement at the University and one of its most “honorable” figures.1980sFeb. 17, 1986“Concert honors black music heritage” By Ted TurnauPhotos by Betsy VickIn 1986, the Afro-American Affairs Office and University Union celebrated Black History Month with a concert honoring Black musical heritage. In his review of the event, writer Ted Turnau praises Roy Ayers, writing that he “was the concert.” He appreciates Ayers’s pop and R&B approach, based in a historic jazz-rock fusion sound, but with a distinct perspective. Although attendance was low, Turnau expressed gratitude for the opportunity to witness and recognize the significant contributions of Black artists to American music.1990sFeb. 12, 1990“Rosa Parks remembers civil rights movement”By Angela Handley Photos by Lynn ManningCivil rights activist Rosa Parks gave a speech in 1990 for the University’s celebration of Black History Month. Parks detailed the experience of her arrest when she refused to sit in the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Parks urged audience members to vote for a peaceful world and for change, stating that many people had been injured, arrested and even killed in an effort to make sure future generations could have their voices heard. 2000sFeb. 21, 2000“Conference discusses diversity, admissions”By Christine BuurmaPhotos by Matt LevineThe “Charting Diversity: Commitment, Honor, Challenge” conference marked the beginning of a year-long symposium series focused on building racial and cultural diversity at the University. The discussion highlighted the necessity of race-based consideration in admissions, particularly stressing the insufficiency of SAT scores and Advanced Placement courses in measuring potential success for students of color. Uniting a wide array of perspectives, the event was described as a “valuable first step” towards making the University better.
Underdogs going in, underdogs coming out — Virginia’s trip to the Moon Golf Invitational offered little in the way of redemption. With 11 teams ranked in the top 25, and the Cavaliers entering at No. 38 nationally, the odds were never in their favor. A second- to last-place finish, falling behind two teams they were ranked ahead of, made for a disappointing showing nonetheless.
The Cavaliers looked to make it four straight victories to start the year on Tuesday, as Virginia Military Institute ventured down I-81 for an early-season meeting with Virginia at Disharoon Park.

Virginia squash enjoyed successes, both tangible and intangible over the weekend at the Mid-Atlantic Squash Conference Championships in Charlottesville at its own McArthur Squash Center. The No. 5 men’s team (13-3, 4-1 MASC) competed in the Holley Cup, winning their fifth title in seven years, while the No. 5 women’s team (11-4, 4-1 MASC) fell in the final of the Gaynor Cup.

This past weekend, the Virginia long distance team headed back up north to Boston for the David Hemery Valentine Invitational. The meet included many personal best times for the Cavaliers along with a surprising turn of events in the men’s 800-meter invite.
Virginia track and field brought the excitement and electricity from Charlottesville to Lynchburg and Clemson, competing in a series of events highlighted by the team’s sprinters and jumpers on Friday and Saturday. The team as a whole was spread throughout the country, but the short-distance bunches at Liberty and Clemson held it down strongly for the Cavalier collective.
What does a film adaptation owe its source material? What if, say, that source material is one of the most famous novels of all time — Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel “Wuthering Heights?” Ever since news broke of director and writer Emerald Fennell’s plans to adapt Brontë’s classic Gothic love story, reactions have been divisive. Many people believe that Fennell owes the original text quite a lot, and have been put off by the modernized costumes, inaccurate racial casting and hypersexualization promised by promotional materials. Now that the movie — released on Thursday — has made its way into the public sphere, it is evident that while some of these twists are eye-catching, they fail to coalesce into something truly visionary.
The Paramount Theater on the Downtown Mall had a line out the door Friday for the Black History Month Gospel Concert featuring opening act Madison Ryann Ward and five time-Grammy Award Winner Chandler Moore. The concert — presented by the University’s Division for Community Engagement and Equal Opportunity — was rooted in Christian faith and served as a worship event as well as a musical one.

College athletics are unique in that fans themselves can often swing the tide in favor of their school’s team. Home advantage is certainly a factor in professional leagues, but the camaraderie and passion at that level pales in comparison to the high-energy, field-rushing, court-storming ways of collegiate sports.
After falling behind 7-4 midway through the second quarter, junior attackman McCabe Millon erupted with three straight goals in 65 seconds. Virginia’s leading scorer, McCabe displayed his wide array of skills — hitting his first goal on a fastball from 10 yards out, ripping an even stronger shot from 15 yards away for his second and pulling off a dazzling spin move that completely lost his defender to give him a point-blank shot at the net to cap off his hat-trick speedrun.
Less than 24 hours after a dominating performance against Delaware State, No. 25 Virginia headed up to Farmville, Va., to partake in the Longwood Invitational. However, what was supposed to be a weekend full of softball quickly turned into just two games thanks to mother nature. Still, the Cavaliers (7-1, 0-0 ACC) were able to advance their winning streak seven, defeating both Longwood (1-7, 0-0 BSC) and Toledo (1-7, 0-0 MAC).
