Two hundred years of University history — both good and bad — were celebrated on the Lawn last Friday night. Performers including Leslie Odom Jr., Andra Day and various student groups came together to tell the story of the University’s illustrious past. A captivating projection mapping display visually showcased the transformation of the Lawn from the laying of the first cornerstone on Oct. 6, 1817 to the pioneering academic institution that the University has become today. While the better parts of the University’s history were certainly showcased, the organizers of the Bicentennial Launch Celebration did a worthy job of also exhibiting the not so admirable parts of University’s history. The freed and enslaved laborers who built the University, Thomas Jefferson’s ownership of slaves and the very recent admittance of women to the University were all represented in the event. The Bicentennial Launch Celebration was a time to reflect on all parts of the University’s history — and a time to plan the creation of a more accepting, inclusive and progressive University in the years to come.
