"Am I Next" peace walk and panel discussion

A diverse crowd across ages, races and backgrounds gathered at First Baptist Church last Thursday, Sept. 1 before marching peacefully to the historical Robert Russa Moton Museum to take part in a panel discussion. The "Am I Next: Debunking Stereotypes" event, organized by Hampden-Sydney College's Dean of Inclusion Hakeem Croom and Longwood University alum Karima ElMadany (both pictured), sought to foster understanding and improve relations between Farmville's African-American and law enforcement communities.
