Date: 04/12/2020

This is the first in a student requested speaker series supporting remote learning.  Dr. John Finn of Christoper Newport University shares his research and digital scholarship, "Living Together, Living Apart," tracing the roots of systemic racism in the Newport News/Hampton Roads communities in Virginia.  Oral histories, GIS maps, and powerful images are explored with student-generated questions and resources provided for teachers and students. Join us for part 2 next week when Annie Evans, VGA Co-Coordinator and Director of Educations and Outreach at New American History explores redlining on a broader scale with the University of Richmond's Digital Scholarship Lab and the American Panorama map, "Mapping Inequality."
