This morning I want to tell you about my Osher class that starts at 9:30 today. It’s about the Bray School Initiative, a joint venture of William & Mary and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. The Williamsburg Bray School Initiative will use the Bray School as a focal point for research, scholarship and dialogue regarding the interconnected, often troubled, legacy of race, religion and education in Williamsburg and in America.
Am so glad you covered Bray School today! I have been fascinated by its story and learned a lot from you. (Think of how many of our friends did their student teaching at Matthew Whaley!). Two things I want to tell you:
1) I am embarrassed to tell you how many times I walked past that building in 1968-69, when I lived practically next door, and had no idea what it was! I suspect I am not alone in that.
2) Two classmates (and friends) of ours have been generous financial supporters of the moving and renovation of the School - Gale and Steve Kohlhagen. They have not tooted their horn about it, and might not appreciate my telling you, but I am so damn proud of their having taken this on.
So, hoorah for the Bray School and its rebirth. I can hardly wait for the tour.
I hope the class was helpful, Karen.
