Gordon W. Wallace, Jr. was a principal founder and driving force behind the Anna Julia Cooper School (AJC).  AJC is a tuition-free school for low-income families, primarily from Richmond’s public housing communities. The School is an expression of Gordon’s belief in and passion to help make possible a quality education for those who, because of their circumstances, are least likely to have access to one. The first floor of the new middle school building is named in his honor, in recognition of both his impact on the School and the affection and esteem the AJC community holds for him.
