He died in 1990 at age 81. The donation, which will be housed in the university's archives, also contains photographs, a bust of Goldberg and speeches and articles that he wrote on a variety of topics. She graduated with an education degree in 1991 and now resides in Warrenton, Virginia. The donation was arranged through political science professor Al Pearson, who teamed with archivist Jim Gilson. Due to the size of the collection, a sampling of the books will be displayed in McConnell Library's Radford Rooms on a rotating basis.
Preparations are currently underway for a dedication ceremony to be held in the spring.
Goldberg' s wife Dorothy will have an exhibition of her paintings at RU's Art Museum, Flossie Martin Gallery, Powell Hall, February 15 through March 9.
