researchers at the university of richmond in the united states are teaching a group of rats, how to drive little plastic cars. the rodents are rewarded with small treats. learning to drive seems to relax the rats a finding that could hold potential for solving human mental health challenges. this is black tale. yeah, we have the training, this is multi colored tail. and they are taking driving lessons. it's not always easy, but if they find their way, they are rewarded with a treat. her usually have a little bit of a moment there where you see them sniff bang, trying to figure out what's going on. and then they'll put their paws on to the lever, and they just have to push the lever down and that makes the car go. and it looks like it's not only human who enjoy getting behind the wheel. scientists say some rats seem eager to drive just for the fun of it, while others do so just for the treat. so those 3 test also shows that driving right are more resilient, unless dressed. we want to sort of get out this aspect of these effort based rewards and on what driving might be for them as far as a

so i had worked with a group of scholars, at the university of richmond, and the digital scholars lab, to try to reconstruct richmond, in 1853. because, by now, this area of richmond, modern richmond, is officers, and skyscrapers, in the interstate. a very modern landscape. so, we knew what we used about real buildings, and this is a photograph of one of the longest used auction houses, where people were sold. then, to use that as a basis, to recreate richmond, in 1853. the richmond that air crow visited. so we created multiple interactive exhibits, many with voice recording, reading from period documents, other interactive is explaining details, and images, and in one short video, that i want to show you, it was our culmination. if you were to watch three minutes at the exhibit, this, hopefully, helped pull it all together. it is drawn from what the artist wrote about what he had seen and richmond, when he was there. so, let me play this. >> on a cold march day, in 1853, eyre crow arrived at the railroad depot on broad street. he made his way past the state capital, to his lodgings a

. -- talk about the slave trade in richmond, virginia, and slave labor at the university of virginia,harlottesville. here is a portion. >> it was clear to me that even though the official public history of the university never mentioned slavery, and even though there was not a single public acknowledgment on the universities landscape, the presence of slavery cast a long shadow over the president state of university life. working with two other faculty members, one from history and the other from computer science, we set out to lead a change in the institution's public memory, by working to uncover and reveal the multi faceted contributions that african americans had made to the institution, and to highlight the long shadows that slavery still casts on the universities landscape. the early rules for the university, written by thomas jefferson, all 95 pages of them, included the following line. no student shall keep a servant. and for decades, the enactments were used by the university, as a way to say that there were not enslaved people at uva. it became an easy cover for their denial
