Continuing a series of virtual panel discussions focused on celebrating Black history throughout the year, the Virginia Beach Cultural Affairs Department partnered with Norfolk State University (NSU) for events surrounding this year’s Black History Month Theme, “Black Resistance.”

The June panel will focus on oral histories gathered from Princess Anne County Training School/Union Kempsville High School alumni, the history of Juneteenth and the impact of resistance through education and community.

Panel is free, and will be hosted by NSU via Zoom starting at noon on June 13.

Registration is required. Panel moderated by Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander, Endowed Professor of Virginia Black History and Culture, and emeritus director of the Joseph Jenkins Roberts Center for African Diaspora Studies at NSU.
