In August 2017, Eric Höweler and J. Meejin Yoon were in the midst of designing a memorial on the Grounds of the University of Virginia. The intention was to acknowledge the labor of more than 4,000 slaves who built Thomas Jefferson’s exquisite Rotunda and flanking pavilions, and who toiled at the University from 1817 through the Civil War. The architects were working with historians, faculty, students, and other stakeholders to determine what form the project would take.

“Thinking about the history of lynching, thinking about America’s racial history – it’s something that we all understand that we need to face, and I appreciate that you all are doing it so boldly by creating a proclamation and a day to remember it,” Andrea Douglas, director of the Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, said Wednesday. The trip and efforts around the Community Remembrance Project have been organized by Douglas and Jalane Schmidt, a local Black Lives Matter activist and UVA professor.
Matthew Hedstrom, a UVA associate professor of religious and American studies, teaches 240 students a year about that demographic. Contrary to popular belief, Hedstrom said, many people believe in general in a higher power and might even pray – in whatever way they understand those two concepts. Others might be seeking something else to believe in, he said.
But for some super fans, there is no such thing as the offseason. Frances Newman, Rachael Inlow, Davida Rimm-Kaufman and Clare Inlow are four such super fans, who know that as the Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball program loses five players – one to graduation, three to the NBA Draft and one to the transfer portal – the school also gains five new players, and that preparations for the 2019-20 season have already started. To that end, the four painted Beta Bridge the night of June 22 to thank the departing players and welcome the new ones to Charlottesville.

Long, a rising fourth-year archaeology student at the University of Virginia, made a surprising discovery in the bright red clay: a pink dime-sized ceramic shard with a floral pattern.
(Commentary) I consulted with a handful of presidential scholars and historians. One of them, Larry Sabato from the University of Virginia, not exactly a raging progressive, said to me in my book that he has never contemplated a scenario where a president would try to attempt a coup to stay in power, at least not since Nixon, until Donald Trump came along.
With several other Republicans and Democrats already in the race, [Larry] Sabato’s Crystal Ball, a political handicapping site at UVA’s Center for Politics, declared the seat up for grabs if Amash, a five-term incumbent, ran as an independent.
UVA Assistant Professor of Media Studies Lana Swartz noted that Facebook isn’t trusted by most consumers. “People don’t trust Facebook. They do trust Starbucks.

Samantha Kenner, communications director of the Eisenhower Presidential Library, Museum, and Boyhood Home in Abilene, Kansas, said that their reference archivist recently researched this question and did not find instances of him using those exact words. But Wiliam I. Hitchcock, a University of Virginia historian and author of "The Age of Eisenhower: America and the World in the 1950s," told PolitiFact that the views do mesh with Eisenhower’s.
While Harris’s support for mandated busing may play well with the ideological leftists who will vote in Democratic primaries, this could very well come up again in the general election, especially if Harris is the nominee. “If she’s the nominee, Trump will never let it go,” said Larry Sabato, director of the UVA Center for Politics.
UVA political analyst Larry Sabato said in a Twitter post following the Democratic debate that busing was so unpopular in the 1970s that Democrats running for office often had a choice to “be a profile in courage and lose, or oppose busing in whole or in part & win to fight another day on stronger ground.”
