Our February 2024 meeting of the Hanover Democratic Committee will feature a speaker on Black heritage. Carolyn Hemphill is founder of the Hanover County Black Heritage Society. She will address the committee at its meeting at 4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 11. The site is the same: Around the Table, 155 Junction Drive in Ashland.
The society seeks to uncover and preserve the history of African Americans in Hanover County and to help enrich and promote stronger family and community unity through our historical findings. Carolyn and her classmates from then, John M. Gandy High School (the public high school for African Americans during segregation years) has been instrumental in preserving record and increasing historical awareness. The society also keeps an active Facebook page. Please join us at this meeting in conjunction with Black History Month.
Also, if you have not yet renewed your membership, or would like to join the HDC, you can do so at the meeting or by using our online form.
