Join us as we dedicate and celebrate our newest public art installation created by RE:site “End of Massive Resistance”

Artist team RE:site, Shane Albritton and Norman Thomas of Texas, were selected to create this 8’ tall x 83’ long wall with a graded transformation of glass to brick that explores the concept of breaking down the barrier of a school building wall and celebrates segregated education. A historic photographic timeline of events and text includes “Seventeen Ways” a poem that local poet, Tim Seibels collaborated with the Norfolk 17 to write. Sunlight penetrating the bricks will be a symbol of triumph of social justice. Opaque bricks near the end of the wall, gesture towards the ongoing work of creating equitable schools.
