This fall, Virginia Beach Public Libraries is offering a series of programs that explore the legacy of racial injustice in the Hampton Roads and Virginia Beach areas. The series entitled Stamped from the Beginning is partially funded by Virginia Humanities and offers a variety of events that include book discussions, local history and genealogy workshops, and public discussions.
The series kicks off this September with The Undefeated StoryWalk. Taking place at different locations throughout the month, the StoryWalk combines exercise and enlightenment. Pages from the picture book, The Undefeated by Kwame Alexander, are placed on signs along a path. Visitors are invited to follow the path, read the page, and reflect on history.
