Well-Deserved Honor for UR President
For the past few years, University of Richmond President Edward L. Ayers has been leading conversations about the Civil War and Emancipation in Richmond and beyond. And his books, research and discussions on the “War between the States” have shaped him as one of the preeminent Civil War scholars in the country.
On Wednesday, Dr. Ayers was awarded a National Humanities Medal by President Obama at the White House.
We offer our congratulations to a leader whose vision has made a tremendous impact on Richmond and across the country.
