Lexington honors
Lee on 200th anniversary of his birth
In the past two weeks, Lee’s
commemoration has kicked into high gear at W&L, where Lee served as
president from 1865 until his death in 1870. Events included an art
exhibit, with lectures, and a one-man stage performance. An event not
sponsored by the university was a parade and tour by Confederate
reenactors on Jan. 13. On Jan. 11, W&L history professors held a discussion in the school’s Wilson Hall about
contemporary impressions of Lee.
