VEA Marks 150 Years
The Virginia Education Association is commemorating 150 years and 50,000 members. It was actually as the Civil War was raging in Virginia.
It began in a Petersburg church by a few men who wanted to make sure children still received an education in wartime.
Meg Gruber, VEA President and science teacher, says the history of the organization is filled with many battles-for students, women, and minorities.
