One of the things that makes MLWGS a special place to learn is its location in the heart of Richmond. It’s an easy walk to the Firehouse Theatre, which just hosted four performances of Songs for Janie, a musical interpretation by Tamara Wellons of Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. The Foundation funded a grant request from English Department Chair Lisa Williams to cover the cost of 35 student tickets to give students the opportunity to enrich their understanding of the novel.
