The East Marshall Street Well Project: A Story of our Ancestral Remains

This presentation will account the history of human remains found in the East Marshall Street Well on the VCU Medical Center Campus. It will explore the practice of 19th century grave robbing for the purposes of procuring cadavers for medical study, and how this practice is only one contributor to institutional racism in health care. This event is presented by Dr. Jen Early, project manager at VCU Health and Member of the Family Representative Council for the E. Marshall St Well Project.
