Part II of "Wake-Up Call" continues the story of a racial
reckoning at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington. This
episode opens on Matriculation Day at the institute, the start of
school for first-year students. In years past, this introduction to
college life - "hell week" - would have
included pretending to be Confederates killing Union soldiers in a
battle reenactment and marching past a looming statue of General
Stonewall Jackson. But with the statue gone and new Black leadership,
sweeping changes are afoot.

Racial justice protests in 2020 spearheaded by some VMI students and
alumni prompted a state-ordered independent investigation that
documented a culture of racism and sexism at the school. What has
changed at VMI since then? Have the changes gone far enough in
addressing systemic racial inequality? And will the new governor,
Glenn Youngkin, threaten VMI's progress?
