Please mark your calendar for a special lecture hosted by the Anti-Racism Team on October 26 at 3pm. The speaker will be Justene Hill Edwards, professor of history at UVA and author of the 2024 book Savings and Trust: the Rise and Betrayal of the Freedman's Bank.
A review of the book: "In her gripping and elegantly written account of the Freedman’s Bank, Justene Hill Edwards illuminates the extent to which the insidious backlash to Reconstruction resonates with us today. An essential read for anyone concerned about racial and economic justice." ― Marcia Chatelain
