Who We Are
Our Story
The LM Bray Jr. 34 Foundation is a nonprofit organization that commemorates a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement, when 34 courageous students from Virginia Union University took a stand against segregation by staging a historic sit-in at an all-white department store in Richmond, VA. Their act of peaceful protest on February 22, 1960, challenged the status quo and ignited a wave of change that resonates to this day.
