Webinar: Rename James Blair Middle and Magruder Elementary

Upcoming talk on local schools with names tied to legacy of slavery

Howdy everyone! I wanted to invite you to a webinar this coming Wednesday evening at 7 PM for my presentation on renaming James Blair Middle and Magruder Elementary. This short talk will cover the history of school segregation in the Williamsburg area and what we are doing to give these schools better names that represent equity in education.

I’ve produced a few different podcasts about this campaign, which you can listen to below:

Why "James Blair" Middle School?

Why "Magruder" Elementary?

Changing Racist School Names in the Historic Triangle

During this webinar, I will also share how you can support our campaign. We will be tabling at two upcoming events, Freedom Fest on June 15 and the Juneteenth Freedom Celebration on the 19th, and we will have other speaking engagements in the coming months.

Hope to see you at the webinar!
