Abstract/Description: | In this interview, Dr. Roy West, former city councilman (1982-1994) and former mayor of Richmond (1982-1988), discusses his involvement with the Carver community in Richmond, Va. Dr. West addresses issues such as deterioration in the community; the effect of the conservation district designation on Carver; community-government relations regarding redevelopment; racial disparity in higher education; his involvement in public education; and the massive resistance movement. Dr. West also recalls the reorganization of high schools in Richmond, including leadership involved in the decision and the effect on public education and the Carver neighborhood; the work of Madeline Peters, a Carver resident who was one of the civic leaders in the community; and challenges facing the community with its relationship with VCU. | |
