The Future of Richmond's Past

November 10, 2009, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
Virginia Union University

SAVE THE DATE! Plan to join us for a second program on “The Future of Richmond’s Past” on Tuesday, November 10, 7:00-9:00 p.m. at Virginia Union University. Progress reports will be made on work underway since the inaugural meeting on September 29.
The discussion begun on September 29 provided an excellent overview of our city’s historical resources and opportunities for enhancing the experiences of our citizens and visitors throughout the coming years. During 2011-2015 our nation will commemorate the 150th anniversaries of two of the major events in American history: the Civil War and the end of American slavery. Leaders of Richmond’s historical and tourism resources, along with Dr. James Horton, Professor of History Emeritus of George Washington University, and Dr. Lawrence Pijeaux, President of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, provided ideas and responses to a number of project collaboration ideas.

Virginia Union University and President Claude G. Perkins are hosting this second conversation. Virginia Union University, Virginia Commonwealth University, and the University of Richmond are offering venues and coordination for planning in addition to their educational resources and links to our area’s past.
