Still We Rise: UVA

Still We Rise: UVA

By Reflections: Oral Histories at UVA

Motivated by 2020's constant reminders of racial injustice,
Reflections: Oral Histories at UVa has been moved
to create a podcast exploring
race, equality, and equity at
the University of Virginia over
the last half-century with the
intention of initiating
profound, provocative, and
ongoing dialogue about
racial injustice within our
university community. By
taking a close look at where
we have come from, we can
do the difficult work of
creating a better future.
