Great piece. I grew up in Petersburg in the 80s and 90s and first discovered Poe in middle school, through reading assignments and a visit to a suite of plays in Richmond. Changed my whole world. Dr. Edwards was a legend even then; he spoke at various churches often, though I don't remember what he talked about because well, kids aren't into history. Beyond that though, I only learned of these connections around 2015. Why my teachers didn't hone in on it, I don't know. Maybe because of the age difference?
