2022 is a momentous year: the 90th anniversary of the federation of Black women’s garden clubs in Virginia. On Thursday, February 17th, special guests Abra Lee and Meredith Henne Baker shared the untold stories and highlighted the groundbreaking legacy of these women and the many ways they shaped Virginia and the nation through a free virtual talk hosted by the Hermitage Museum & Gardens.
Support for this program comes from a civic engagement partnership grant between the Hampton Roads Community Foundation and the Virginia Humanities. The grant, Beneath the Surface, helps nonprofits explore the history of race in South Hampton Roads through community programs, events, and more.
