Greensville Training School Oral History Project

Did you attend or know someone who attended the Greenville County Training School in Emporia, Virginia?
If so, would you like to share your or your family members experience?

I am Dr. Lucy Hudson, a native of Emporia, and I am conducting an oral history project about the Training School. This project is an extension of research that I completed in my Master of Education program at VCU, where I studied the history of the Training School. Over the next few months, under the mentorship of a professor with the VCU Department of African American Studies, my goal is to capture the history of the school to produce a documentary and book to share the story of this Rosenwald School.
During a moment when our history is being targeted, now is the time to capture our history for future generations.

Will you assist me in this effort?
