A special commission at Baylor University recently reported on its historical research about the university’s founders and their connection with slavery and the Confederacy. This follows on the heels of a discovery reported in September 2020 that R.C. Buckner, for whom the child- and elder-care ministry Buckner International was named, also owned a slave when he was pastor of First Baptist Church of Paris, Texas.
