One of the younger sons of Benjamin Spencer, the dean of the William & Mary Law School and a U.S. Army Reserve captain, attends virtual school while a row of magazine covers are taped to the wall showing the faces of prominent Black figures who made national news in 2020, including Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, at his house in Williamsburg, Virginia, Dec. 3, 2020. Spencer is the first African-American dean hired by the oldest law school in the country and a U.S. Army Reserve officer and lawyer who works for the Government Appellate Division. Spencer and his wife, Marlette, have nine children. He graduated from Harvard Law School and joined the Army when he was almost 41 because he felt a calling to serve people and serve his nation.
