The Cavaliers in Virginia history were British colonists who sided with King Charles I in the English Civil War. The Slave Trade and those who profited from it were on both sides of that Civil War, it wasn’t about slavery.

Thank you. And the swords, whatever their origins, do not convey “serpentine walls” or “slavery” in any way.

"The Cavaliers in Virginia history were British colonists who sided with King Charles I in the English Civil War."
The state of Virginia itself is named after Queen Elizabeth I, who presided over England at a time when slavery was still legal there, as well as a significant number of other "non-woke" public policies.
The state and the university both need to change their names to conform to our new level of "wokeness".
Maybe just a greek letter or a mathematical symbol, like one of Elon Musk's kids.
