| In the wake of national outcry over the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, a number of Trinity's student groups under the Umoja Coalition called for the renaming of (Nathaniel) Wheaton Hall and (Bishop Samuel) [[seabury_hall|Seabury Hall]]. In their June 2020 list of demands, Umoja Coalition claimed that "both figures, while deeply revered in Trinity’s history, were outright racists and defended slavery on a number of instances." With the unanimous support of the Board of Trustees, President [[berger-sweeney_joanne|Joanne Berger-Sweeney]] stated on July 7, 2020, in response to the Umoja Coalition's demands, that "members of the Trinity community this fall [should] consider naming issues more broadly—to look at not only who’s honored and whether that’s appropriate, but also who isn’t honored and how we might address it. These community members will help us figure out whose names and stories could or should be celebrated and what names should adorn our campus buildings and spaces." | In the wake of national outcry over the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, a number of Trinity's student groups under the Umoja Coalition called for the renaming of (Nathaniel) Wheaton Hall and (Bishop Samuel) [[seabury_hall|Seabury Hall]].

| At a meeting on April 28, 2021, the Board of Trustees "voted unanimously in support of a recommendation to remove the name from Wheaton Hall, named for Nathaniel Wheaton, and to rename it temporarily as Trinity Hall." The decision was made in tandem with the re-initiation of a college-wide Committee on Named Facilities and Commemoratives to make the Trinity campus more equitable in its naming practices. According to President Berger-Sweeney, "the Committee on Named Facilities and Commemoratives will propose a new name for the building in due course." | At a meeting on April 28, 2021, the Board of Trustees "voted unanimously in support of a recommendation to remove the name from Wheaton Hall, named for Nathaniel Wheaton, and to rename it temporarily as Trinity Hall."
