Untold RVA\u2019s pod marker project seeks to connect individuals with sites of self-determined history throughout the city, honoring Richmond\u2019s abolitionists, women\u2019s rights activists, creative change agents, and more. The Race &amp; Racism Project\u2019s partnership with Untold RVA seeks to bring the pod marker project to our campus in order to make the history of resistance and change more visible and spark continued conversation and action for an equitable and inclusive community.<\/p>\n<p>This Open Forum seeks to begin a conversation about campus history and current events to create pod markers that will be visible to all members of the UR community and visitors. No knowledge of UR history is necessary to attend, as the forum seeks to gain feedback and create a dialogue about who, what, and how commemoration will work.\u00a0We will also speak about opportunities for collaboration with Untold RVA via independent studies and summer fellowships as the Richmond-centered project expands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join the Race &amp; Racism at the University of Richmond Project on Wednesday, January 18 from 4-5:30 PM in Jepson Hall Room 109 in an Open Forum to discuss the project\u2019s partnership with Free Egunfemi, founder of Untold RVA.
