Event Details:Join Dr. Victoria Tucker, Nurse and Public Historian, for a powerful presentation on the history of African American nursing students in Albemarle County, Virginia. While pursuing a Ph.D. in Nursing at the University of Virginia, Dr. Tucker uncovered the inspiring story of African American nurses who were barred from attending UVA but pursued their careers through the segregated J.P. Burley High School. Dr. Tucker’s research, which involved archival materials, oral histories, and material culture, sheds light on their struggles and triumphs. Her work has led to a public apology from UVA, and a memorial bench and natural space have been dedicated in their honor.
