Spotlight on First Woman Board Chair of the Virginia Museum of History and Culture |
|
|
Dr. Pamela Kiecker Royall is breaking ground in her newest role as the first female board chair for the Virginia Museum of History & Culture, a leadership post to which she was elected in January. And she is intent on making sure that the museum on Arthur Ashe Boulevard is “relevant and meaningful for diverse audiences.”
“I considered it a great honor, especially to be the first woman in this role,” says Dr. Royall when asked why she accepted the role. “I believe in the museum’s mission and expanded vision for serving all Virginians.”
Her major goal for her two-year term is supporting that expanding vision to make VMHC’s collections, exhibitions and programming and preservation efforts more inclusive and representative to reflect the history and legacy of all Virginians. Read More

for COVID-19 and Black Community Trust in Science |
|
|
In collaboration with the Faculty Development Initiative at Virginia Union University, the Center for African American History and Culture (CAAHC) hosts a special panel on Black community trust/distrust in science that will highlight and encourage interdisciplinary approaches to and engagement with pressing issues affecting the African American community.
The COVID-19 crisis and pandemic only make more visible the racial disparities that have always negatively affected Black and other ethnic minority communities' health and medical care access. We notice this disparity conspicuously now as it relates to those who are able to get access to vaccinations quickly.
The COVID pandemic summons our attention to a history of science, medicine, and the ill-treatment and handling of Black bodies. In light of the current times, this panel will illumine a history of scientific racism, and link how it may contribute to and warrant Black community suspicious of science.
Panelists:
Terri Laws, PhD, Assistant Professor, Health and Human Services and African and African American Studies, University of Michigan-Dearborn
Wylin D. Wilson, PhD, Assistant Professor of Theological Ethics, Duke Divinity School
Karl T. Jackson Sr., PhD, Chair, Department of Natural Sciences and Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Virginia Union University
Gerard McShepard, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Biology, Assistant Dean of Graduate Programs in the School of Arts and Sciences, Virginia Union University
Moderated by:
Cleve V. Tinsley IV, Asst. Professor and Director of Center for African-American History and Culture, Virginia Union University
