Journalist Wil Haygood will leave his collection of writings and documents to Miami University

Journalist and author Wil Haygood will leave his collected works, notes and documents to his alma mater, Miami University. He made the unexpected announcement while accepting the university's Freedom Summer of '64 Award.

"It's probably one of the more robust collections of this type of material amassed by any single writer anywhere on this subject matter," Haygood said. "It is my goal that students, scholars from Europe or Africa or anywhere, are able to come to Miami and look at this collection."
