Pilot process underway to rename Wingate Road
Wake Forest has begun a pilot process to rename two sections of a Reynolda campus road named for Washington Manly Wingate, led by an ad hoc Administrative Committee on Honorifics (ACH) convened by President Susan R. Wente. Wingate (1828-79) was the fourth president of Wake Forest College in two terms bisected by the Civil War. He also participated – both personally and on behalf of the College – in the ownership and sale of enslaved African Americans.
