Mike Maruca, Head of School at the Anna Julia Cooper School in North Church Hill joins me to discuss the school, its namesake (an amazing person who we should all know more about!), their successes and the hurdles they face in helping kids from the east end of Richmond. The Anna Julia Cooper School is a privately funded school fostering education, community and the growth of the whole person. They are doing amazing things. Please take a listen. You can learn more about the school here: https://www.annajuliacooperepiscopalschool.org Please consider helping them out. We're all one tribe, more alike than different.
