<p>The History of Integration at VMI program featured a panel discussion with Harry W. Gore, Jr., Adam L. Randolph III, Richard E. Valentine, Jr., and Philip L. Wilkerson Jr., who, along with Larry H. Foster, were the first African Americans to matriculate at the Virginia Military Institute in September 1968.  The panel commemorated the 50th anniversary of the year (1968-1969) that these five men matriculated at VMI. It took place on April 26, 2019, and was moderated by Col. Keith E. Gibson.</p>  </scopecontent>
