To the members of Princeton Public Schools Board of Education:
As faith leaders, we believe that the names of our schools should speak to the best of where we have been and who we are, and inspire us to what we seek to become. We were encouraged when in 2020 the Princeton Public Schools decided to listen to the principled appeals of justice-loving communities in Princeton and remove the name of “John Witherspoon” from our local middle school as a remnant of a legacy of slavery, white supremacy, and racial injustice. We were also encouraged when the leadership of our public schools wisely decided to give the community at large (students and community) the opportunity to contribute to the decision-making process for the renaming of the middle school. Democratic decision-making is a hallmark of so many of our healthiest communities and best practices.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is ramping up efforts around Hampton Roads to vaccinate people who face barriers to receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
The targeted outreach approach includes pop-up clinics at several churches and door-to-door visits, much like get-out-the-vote efforts, in neighborhoods with low vaccination rates.
Officials say mass vaccine sites, including one at Military Circle in Norfolk, have vaccinated thousands of people daily. However, the new grassroots phase of the immunization campaign is intended to help marginalized people who lack transportation to big vaccine sites or prefer to be vaccinated within their own communities where they feel more at ease.

NORFOLK, Va. - Norfolk State University announced its ability to help more people get vaccinated.
The university has partnered with Second Calvary Baptist Church to host a small vaccination clinic this Saturday, April 10.
If you re interested, you must fill out a survey, which you can find here. You will then be contacted by the church to schedule an appointment.
NSU is also working with the Norfolk Department of Public Health to possibly host an on-campus clinic. Our focus is to play our role in whatever we are called to do, so we re going to take the lead and when - or if - that time comes where they need to utilize us as a site, we are ready to go, said Leonard Brown, VP of Student Affairs at Norfolk State.
