Upcoming Event

 We invite you to visit what some think may be the largest map in the world. It's certainly important map as it can teach us the history behind many inequalities along the Elizabeth River.
 

From October 4th until November 17th, visit Norfolk State University's James Wise Gallery will house the Living Apart: Redlining exhibition.
 

Living Apart: Redlining is a traveling exhibition that uses maps, photographs, and personal accounts to trace the ongoing impacts of our country's long history of housing discrimination. Redlined communities also experience higher rates of environmental challenges, such as excessive urban heat, sparse tree canopy and lack of green spaces.
 

This unique multi-media exhibition was created by Dr. Johnny Finn, associate professor at Christopher Newport University. It was also made possible thanks to the support of NSU's Fine Art faculty and students, Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander, NSU and Elizabeth River Project's Environmental Justice Incubator, and the Center for African American Public Policy (CAAmPP).
