Literal and metaphorical excavations at Sweet Briar College reveal
how African American labor enabled the transformation of Sweet
Briar Plantation into a private women's college in 1906. This
volume tells the story of the invisible founders of a college
founded by and for white women. Despite being built and maintained
by African American families, the college did not integrate its
student body for sixty years after it opened. In the process,
Invisible Founders challenges our ideas of what a college "founder"
is, restoring African American narratives to their deserved and
central place in the story of a single institution - one that
serves as a microcosm of the American South.
