About the Project

Since 2011 we (Laura Browder and Patricia Herrera) have been teaching community-based courses, using theater and museum studies to teach our students about the rich and complex history of Richmond’s fraught legacy of slavery and Jim Crow.

While we began by studying the educational inequities, past and present, our work has expanded to focus on gentrification, health disparities, and the lives of civil rights activists.
