About this event
This presentation by Historian Peter Rachleff, PhD (Professor of History Emeritus, Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota) chronicles the alliance between black and white union activists that held a majority on Richmond City Council. At the peak of the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War, they put forward a vision for a new city hall that resonates to this day. The lecture will be followed by a panel discussion and facilitated small group conversation. Tickets are $25 for the lecture and breakout discussion and $10 for the lecture only.
Coming Together Virginia is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on their vision of a racially healed world of thriving, equitable and just communities.
