DuBois Faculty Spotlight: Bryant Hall, Captain, UVA Police Department Captain Bryant Hall has been with the University of Virginia Police Department for approximately 19 months. Prior to that he served for 13 years with the Portsmouth Police Department where he held the position of Lieutenant and served as the Chief of Staff and Public Information Officer (PIO). Captain Hall was also a district commander, where he was responsible for the allocation of resources in identified crime areas. During his time there he was heavily involved in community service. He had the honor of creating the “Teens and Traffic Stops” program, which was the first of its kind in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The program was picked up by the associated press and police departments in Miami and Ohio reached out for the program. The City of Portsmouth placed the program in the driver’s education curriculum. View news report about the program here. Additionally, Captain Hall facilitated a tutoring and mentoring program within the department partnering with the local school district. Prior to serving in this capacity, he was in charge of the Gang Suppression Unit and a member of the FBI violent crimes taskforce. He supervised all gang investigations in the City of Portsmouth and was Title 18 and Title 21 certified (Drug and Violent Crime) as a taskforce officer. As a result of his good work, he received five (5) public service awards from the US Attorney’s Office Eastern District of Virginia. Captain Hall also received Hampton Roads Top Cop award for the City of Portsmouth in 2013 and the American Legion Officer of the Year in 2011 (Post 190). Prior to joining the Police Department he served our country in the United States Coast Guard as a reservist. He is a graduate of Norfolk State University and has a M.S. in Criminal Justice. He is also a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated. Quote's Corner William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (February 23, 1868 – August 27, 1963) was an American civil rights activist, leader, Pan-Africanist, sociologist, educator, historian, writer, editor, poet, and scholar. He was born and raised in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He had two children with his wife, Nina Gomer. He became a naturalized citizen of Ghana in 1963 at the age of 95 – the year of his death. Du Bois’s life and work were an inseparable mixture of scholarship, protest activity, and polemics. All of his efforts were geared toward gaining equal treatment for black people in a world dominated by whites and toward marshaling and presenting evidence to refute the myths of racial inferiority. Du Bois also wrote two novels, The Quest of the Silver Fleece (1911) and Dark Princess: A Romance (1928); a book of essays and poetry, Darkwater: Voices from within the Veil (1920); and two histories of black people, The Negro (1915) and The Gift of Black Folk: Negroes in the Making of America (1924). In 1940 he founded Phylon, a social science quarterly. Black Reconstruction in America, 1860-1880 (1935), perhaps his most significant historical work, details the role of African Americans in American society, specifically during the Reconstruction period. The book was criticized for its use of Marxist concepts and for its attacks on the racist character of much of American historiography. Black Folk, Then and Now (1939) is an elaboration of the history of black people in Africa and the New World. Color and Democracy: Colonies and Peace (1945) is a brief call for the granting of independence to Africans, and The World and Africa: An Inquiry into the Part Which Africa Has Played in World History (1947; enlarged ed. 1965) is a major work anticipating many later scholarly conclusions regarding the significance and complexity of African history and culture. A trilogy of novels, collectively entitled The Black Flame (1957, 1959, 1961), and a selection of his writings, An ABC of Color (1963), are also worthy. Du Bois received many honorary degrees, was a fellow and life member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters. He was the outstanding African American intellectual of his period in America. Du Bois died in Ghana on August 27, 1963, on the eve of the civil rights march in Washington, D.C. He was given a state funeral.

I can’t imagine a more fitting theme for this year thanRISE UP FOR CHANGE. This has been a challenging year for all of us. At times, it has felt like so much of what GLIDE stands for was under threat due to the health pandemic, economic fallout, and increased racial and social unrest. So many around us are struggling to meet their basic needs, feel isolated or afraid, and question the growing divisions across the nation. Guided by our values, GLIDE has responded by rising up during these difficult times. We see this happening all around us as people choose courage over fear, justice over oppression, compassion over indifference. We see hope in the face of adversity. I am so proud of the entire GLIDE community — our staff, our donors, our volunteers, our partners. We come together every day to ensure those who are most vulnerable get their needs met, achieve stability, and have a voice on their paths to transformation.

  • Faculty Emeriti 2019 2020
    Faculty Emeriti 2019-2020 2 Faculty Emeriti University of Virginia June 2020 We congratulate this year’s retiring faculty emeriti, all of whom are eminent scholars, as they enter this new phase of their lives. This year, we celebrate the careers of 61 great teachers and researchers from nine schools and 37 disciplines, nominated by their schools for their exceptional accomplishments. This collection of short biographies spotlights women and men who have written dozens of books, won national awards of distinction, and made thrilling discoveries in their fields. But our retiring faculty members are also musicians, photographers, outdoor enthusiasts, and artists; gardeners, sports fans, and prolific travelers. Their accomplishments in our classrooms and laboratories were shaped by who they are. In their hobbies, as well as their academic interests, they contributed to the life of our community. All of them have great stories to tell. Because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, 2020 will be remembered as a time of intense upheaval and transformation at the University. And this likely isn’t the retirement our faculty emeriti envisioned. For those who delayed retirement festivities, and in place of our dinner in your honor, we raise a virtual glass to you and share your disappointment in these necessary but regrettable cancellations. We hope that it will make any celebrations all the sweeter when those days finally come. Until then, we hope that you enjoy reading this booklet and that it becomes a memorable keepsake. We are grateful to our faculty emeriti for all they have done and all they will continue to do for the University of Virginia.
