Submit Feedback to the MU History Working Group
The group is tasked with exploring how the university could provide a more holistic representation of history on the MU campus for the purposes of educating students and the community about the vital contributions of laborers in the establishment of the university. The committee will review the history and roles of slaves, as well as other groups who may have helped build the original university.
The MU History Working Group is seeking university community feedback and ideas. All input will be reviewed and considered. Please share your ideas by emailing muhistoryworkgrp@missouri.edu.
