The Future of Richmond's Past
November 10
7:00-9:00p.m.
Hosted by Virginia Union University and President Claude G. Perkins
The program will be held in the Virginia Union University Performing Arts Theater, located in Building #14 as seen on the map.
Visitor parking is across the street, adjacent to Hovey Field.
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.
The evening program at Virginia Union will give audience members the first chance to hear about and comment on the planning being done by two "Future of Richmond's Past" working groups. They are developing ideas, collaborative programs, and public comment opportunities in support of the 150th anniversary of two major events in American history that our city will commemorate throughout 2011-2015: the Civil War and the end of American slavery.
The Honorable Delores McQuinn of the Slave Trail Commission is chairing the working group focused on how to include parts of Richmond's history that have previously been excluded or not discussed in sufficient detail. This group will focus on three topics on November 10: the under-representation of slavery and the slave trade in Richmond and identification of specific sites; the emergence of women and identification of Richmond sites, and lesser-known Civil War sites and Information. Audience members will be asked to help with identifying sites on maps.
Ms. Christy Coleman of the American Civil War Center is leading the working group developing ways Richmond might help Richmond area residents and visitors to our city make the most of its extensive historical resources. Hear about plans for city walks, a master calendar, way finding and interpretive signage, an "ambassadorial" program for our city, and ways to involve young people and teachers. Audience members will be invited to provide feedback and suggestions.
Please reserve this date now. Registration is free but is required for planning purposes. To register, reply at TheFutureofRichmondsPast@richmond.edu TODAY!
