UVA Reflections- Still we Rise

Reflections is an oral history project that seeks to chronicle the diverse and personal history of the University of Virginia through the stories of University students, staff, faculty, alumni, and Charlottesville community members who have contributed to the institution’s complex and robust narrative. Utilizing the continued participation of the University and Charlottesville community, Reflections hopes to, “encourage intergenerational transfer of knowledge and a more comprehensive, diversified collection of stories that enrich and carry our University’s history forward.”

Still We Rise is a podcast created through the Reflections project. Coming in Fall of 2020, Still We Rise is a podcast exploring race, equality, and equity at the University of Virginia over the last half-century with the intention of initiating profound, provocative, and ongoing dialogue about racial injustice in our university community. By taking a close look at where we have come from, we can do the difficult work of creating a better future.
