W&M has not so far been able to find what might well exist on its original campus, a burial ground for those it enslaved over some 172 years.  One possibility the College is considering is the deployment of cadaver dogs—specially trained dogs who can detect forgotten graves even centuries old.



Cat Warren, an expert in the field

will be presenting a Lemon’s Legacy Porch Talk on the capabilities and promise of cadaver dogs.  Via Zoom, October 13, 6 p.m.
