Commission holds first meeting. Subsequent meetings are held every other week during August, September, October, November and December.

  • Early meetings include a study of the historical context of Baylor’s founding and the historical records of slave ownership by Baylor’s founders and early leaders.

  • Meetings progressed to include a methodical study of areas of campus where historic representations were present and concluded with a look at other historic representations that did not have a physical space or were located away from the main campus. The history of each representation and the person(s) or occasion around its development was examined, followed by discussion of recommendations from commission members. Recommendations that reached consensus agreement were included in the Final Report.
