His name was Lemon. He was a slave - and he was owned by the College of William and Mary. His relationship with the College was complex..we know he sold produce to the college and even though he was a slave, in 1808 he received a Christmas bonus from the institution. The role of the College of William and Mary during slavery, and its attitude about race relations from the Civil War until today is the mission of The Lemon Project: A Journey of Reconciliation. On the next Another View we talk with Robert Engs, PhD, Consulting History Scholar for the Lemon Project; and Jody Allen, PhD, the Managing Director of the project about College's attempt to rectify wrongs against African Americans and build bridges between the College and the Tidewater community. Join us for The Lemon Project, Friday, January 6, 2012 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or whrv.org
