    UVA students--interested in working with me on a UVA DH website this summer? Interested in helping PCUAS do research into UVA's past? Apply to be a paid intern through IPH: We're hiring for both!

    61 schools--spectacular expansion in the four years since an informal consortium of Virginia schools became "Universities Studying Slavery" when Georgetown University signed on. Lots more work to do, but nice to know we have so much help!

    Sixty schools, so much growth since an informal consortium of five Virginia schools (Virginia Colleges & Universities Studying Slavery) became a formal project in 2016 after we changed the name as Georgetown University joined!

    Great night with CHS teachers, thanks to Louis Nelson for tag-teaming the presentation with me. Most important, thanks to for organizing and to all the teachers who came to learn and discuss!

    We are still at it, but now this project extends at least one hundred years after the beginning of the general emancipation in 1865...

    "In the South...the landscape is littered with the iconography of the Confederacy. We actually celebrate the architects & defenders of enslavement. For me, that has to change if we're going to get to the kind of healthy place I think we need to get to."

    Upcoming event that's deeply relevant to the work of the PCSU and PCUAS here: Mark your calendars for Thursday, January 30, 4:00pm in Rotunda Dome Room--Joan Wallach Scott, "Accounting for History: The Movements for Reparations for Slavery in the U.S."

    Seeing everyone interacting with the memorial chokes me up-seeing the names, reading the history, it's powerful stuff. Excited to see this through to April 11 dedication & hopeful for how this memorial serves as a foundational step for ongoing education & atonement.

    Early 20th century C'ville benefactor Paul G. McIntire's mother was a Clark. Thanks to him, this town & UVA received George Rogers Clark, Lewis & Clark, RE Lee, & Jackson monuments. Lost Cause, inevitable Anglo-Saxon US conquest myth, and white supremacy as a package deal.

    Turns out that NYT's excellent 1619 project, contrary to the complaints of coterie of older historians and racist commentators, is sparking discussion, learning, and rethinking our past in actual classrooms with actual teachers and students. Amen to that.

    Nice article today on the memorial, deeply honored to have co-chaired the drive for it, but always sobering to be reminded that out of 4,000+ enslaved people who lived and worked at UVA before 1865, we still have names for fewer than 600.

    Hard to believe 2020 is here and the memorial is basically finished--been a long road since 2013, but so worth it. Hope to see everyone at this important ceremony on April 11.

    Yes, a few schools have committed financial resources to reparative programs. Unmentioned in this piece is the University of Glasgow (reminder, too, that this story is not confined to American South nor to the U.S.).
