The Commission on Presidential Debates previously announced that VSU had been chosen to host a debate in October between the two presidential candidates. Yesterday, though, President Biden and Donald Trump agreed to two debates, in June and September. The VSU debate is now up in the air. School officials say they're disappointed by the news. It was planning to be the first HBCU to ever host a general election presidential debate. VSU says it'll continue to work closely with the Commission on Presidential Debates and other stakeholders as they assess the situation.
Archaeologists say a Revolutionary War barracks has been found at Colonial Williamsburg. The barracks was discovered after a site excavation last year. Historians believe the barracks dates back to 1776 and was built to house up to two-thousand soldiers and 100 horses. The barracks is estimated to cover three or four acres, though only a small part of it has been excavated so far. It was likely destroyed in 1781 by British troops. The site and any artifacts found within will be preserved for future examination.
