Where Art & History Meet

Hello fellow readers!
It remains to be seen whether “The Organ Thieves” will ever be made into a movie. But until then, you have another lens through which to view it, right here in River City.
As you can read in this great account by Michael Phillips of The Richmonder, two murals were unveiled honoring Bruce O. Tucker, the central figure of my book whose heart was stolen from his body to try to save the life of an ailing white man.
The art project was a collaborative effort between the Tucker family, famed muralist Hamilton Glass and a talented team of VCU art students. 
I hope VCU’s leadership – which has worked diligently with Mr. Tucker’s family to honor his memory and contribution to heart transplant research – decides to hold a more public event so everyone can see how the university continues to explore its true history (a welcome development considering the reactionary denialism at other tax-supported Virginia colleges, such as VMI).
Until then, I’m sending this totally unofficial invitation to pay a visit during business hours. Simply drive down to the VCU Medical Center, use the public parking deck, then find your way over to the Bruce O. Tucker auditorium on the third floor of the McGlothlin Medical Education Center at 1201 E. Marshall Street, RVA 23298. From the deck, take the elevator into the main Gateway building and follow the catwalk that crosses over Marshall Street. Once you're in the McGlothlin building, go up one floor and you’ll see the mural outside the newly-named Bruce O. Tucker Auditorium.
It’ll be worth taking the trip into living history!
