Award-winning journalist and best-selling author Coy Barefoot welcomes Maurie McInnis to the program. McInnis is a Vice Provost and Professor of Art History at the University of Virginia- and will be joining the University of Texas at Austin this summer, one of the nation’s largest public universities, as its new Executive Vice President and Provost. McInnis explores one of the most heated debates in the modern history of Charlottesville, Virginia: what to do about statues and monuments that celebrate the U.S. Confederacy and its leaders. She also explores the challenging realities facing higher education in America in the 21st century.
The Coy Barefoot Program is a project of the Center for Media and Citizenship at the University of Virginia. It is broadcast every Sunday morning at 10a on ABC16 in Charlottesville, Virginia, and is rebroadcast each Thursday evening at 9p on WVPT-PBS.
