Add to calendar https://zoom.us/j/93877426775 29-12-2021 18:30:00 29-12-2021 15 Update: East Marshall Street Well Project In 1994, human remains were discovered during the construction of the Kontos building. Analysis by VCU and Smithsonian researchers indicated that the skeletal remains were predominantly of individuals of African descent dating to before the 1860s. In 2011, VCU began a public process to gain community input and worked collaboratively to form the Family Representative Council. The council has represented the descendant community since 2015 and made recommendations about research, memorialization and interment. The update will include the university's progress on the project and plan for the biological analysis of the remains. Input will be welcome on research and the next steps in the process.
