Nikki Giovanni and Julian Bond at the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial Dedication

Virginia Tech poet and professor Nikki Giovanni and civil rights activist and attorney Julian Bond examine the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial in Richmond during its dedication ceremony in 2008. The monument remembers key figures in the protests that ultimately led to school desegregation statewide, especially the students at Robert Russa Moton High School in Farmville, Virginia.
