A poetry reading remembrance ceremony for Pulitzer Prize winning poet and VCU professor, Claudia Emerson, was held Monday night at the Grace Street Theater. A large crowd of well over 100 people packed the auditorium to pay their respects to a woman described as a kind, caring women with a good sense of humor.
With the help of a relaunched initiative and a few dedicated students, Jim Coleman, Dean of VCU’s College of Humanities and Sciences, is determined to bring his 14,000-student school closer together.
Even a half century later, the civil rights movement and legacy of school desegregation in Virginia is still a topic of huge relevance and next summer, teachers from across the country will visit VCU to partake in a course focused on both historical issues.
