FROM RVA TO CVILLE: SOLIDARITY FOREVER
This week on Race Capitol, we are in dialogue with Lisa Woolfork, Associate Professor of English at the University of Virginia and Christina Rivera of Congregate Cville, a Unitarian Universalist minister, as they reflect on the recent four year anniversary of A11 and A12 and the impact of the Sines v. Kessler trial on members of the Charlottesville community.
Tune in this week as we center the People’s narratives from the ground in so-called Charlottesville. Thank you to our guests for joining this week!
