Events!

The Events! program fulfills one of the Center’s guiding values: “Recognizing the significant health benefits of remaining active and avoiding social isolation.” What better way to put this value into action than by getting together? There’s a lot to do in RVA: museums, restaurants, wineries, plays, exhibits, historical sites, breweries, music, sporting events, and more. Plus, the Center also shows movies in their multi-purpose room for FREE.

Events are for members and volunteers – bring a guest! Membership is only $25. You can become a member here. Enter your email here to get announcements about coming events. And if you enjoy planning events, join our Events! committee. Contact the office at 804-355-7282 or tscor@tscor.org.

Harriet (2019) follows the remarkable life of Harriet Tubman (Cynthia Erivo). Set in 1840s Maryland, the biographical drama chronicles her harrowing escape from slavery to Philadelphia. Driven by courage and deep conviction, she returns to the South repeatedly, becoming a legendary “conductor” on the Underground Railroad who freed hundreds of enslaved people.

Expanding Freedom, the Shockoe Institute’s exhibit, immerses you in the history of America’s struggle to expand human freedom. Through seven distinct sections, you will learn about the origins and growth of racial slavery in America. You will reflect on Richmond’s rise as an epicenter in the national trade of enslaved people and how racial slavery touched virtually every aspect of American life before the Civil War. At the conclusion of the exhibit, you will have an opportunity to act on what you’ve learned and consider how to put this history to work to improve our civic life.

For members and volunteers – bring a guest.
Wednesday, July 22nd.
