Speak Their Names (University of North Carolina)
3 p.m. PT | 6 p.m. EST | RSVP Here
The University Commission on History, Race, and a Way Forward at UNC-Chapel Hill was formed in 2019 and formally charged by the Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz in February of 2020 to “explore, engage and teach the University’s history with race, and provide recommendations on how we as a University community must reckon with the past.” Over the past year, its 19 members have been re-examining the University’s legacy regarding race, including structures built by enslaved people on indigenous lands and named for slaveholders, Confederates and white supremacists. Along with other work, the Commission has initiated the process for the removal of the names of four white supremacists from University buildings, which was approved by the Board of Trustees; begun preparing for the recommendations for the removal of additional names to be presented to the chancellor; and created a roster of more than 150 enslaved people who built and maintained the University. In this session participants will learn more about the Commission’s work in identifying those enslaved people, exploring the history and seeing the archival records used in their work.

Growing up as a person with hemophilia (a rare genetic disorder) in a working-class family in Mexico, he nearly lost his life because of limited access to treatments. His conviction that no patient should be without the medical care or treatment they need to live a full life is his driving force in his career.

Disrupting the Lost Cause Narrative (University of Richmond)
3 p.m. PT | 6 p.m. EST | RSVP here
In 1890, a 21-foot-high statue of Robert E. Lee, the first Confederate on what became Monument Avenue, was installed in Richmond, Virginia. Four other monuments on the avenue, symbols of Lost Cause ideals, came down this past summer after protesters took to the streets. Today, the Lee Monument is the last Confederate monument standing due to current litigation – but it has been transformed by paint and community activism. Dr. Lauranett Lee, historian and member of the Monument Avenue Commission, and Brian Palmer, Peabody Award-winning journalist, will speak about memorialization, protest, and healing in the former Capital of the Confederacy. University of Richmond students studying Monumental Change with Dr. Nicole Maurantionio, associate professor of rhetoric and communications studies, will then lead us in conversation.
Hosted by the University of Richmond’s Bonner Center for Civic Engagement
