Virginia Tech has reopened the section of the academic building where a student gunman killed 30 people nearly two years ago in the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

Thank You Debbie! A year ago, today, a crazed killer terrorized students and faculty at Virginia Tech. While several were murdered, one of the murdered gave his life to save many others. That man was the brave American/Israeli Jew, Dr. Liviu Librescu , Blessed Be His Memory. This brilliant scientist, Holocaust survivor, and survivor of Communist tyranny, died so that others–22 others!–would live. I remember how proud my late father–knowing he was dying of cancer–was of Dr. Librescu’s heroic final act. The stereotype is that Jews are weak people, but Dr. Librescu betrayed that image. Alas, my father sarcastically said he was waiting for ... Read Full Story

We will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears and through all our sadness.... We will prevail.... -- Nikki Giovanni, University Distinguished Professor, poet, activist Some photos of the 'afterwards' as people tried to assimilate and the grieving began. UPDATE: Check out all the photos. Maybe everyone else in the world knows this but I did not. All over the country and parts of the world people were participating in 'hokie hope' day. It's really quite beautiful to see the wonder of the humanity inside of us emerge. Thinking of the families. Hoping they come here and know someone thinks of ... Read Full Story

If the human race is destined to survive another century, it will be because of men like Liviu Librescu. If more people were like Liviu, we'd actually deserve another century. 'Professor Liviu Librescu, 76, threw himself in front of the shooter when the man attempted to enter his classroom. The Israeli mechanics and engineering lecturer was shot to death, "but all the students lived - because of him,"' Read Full Story
