Join us in commemorating the reconstruction and opening of the historic Williamsburg Bray School site. Through our partnership with William & Mary’s Bray School Lab, the site will enable scholars and interpreters to probe the complicated story of race, religion, and education in Williamsburg and America.
The ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, November 1, on the Lawn of the Art Museums. It will be followed by a reception, community art projects, entertainment, and a series of panel discussions and interpretive programs in the Hennage Auditorium, free and open to the public.
Special keynote address by Sec. Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian and founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.
