The Road to Healing with Ken Woodley

Author Ken Woodley will host a Zoom Forum to share the story behind his book The Road to Healing, on Wednesday, August 26 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. St. Michael's, Bon Air (a mostly white church) and Fourth Wall Love Connect Ministries (a mostly black church), who share ministry on the same campus in Bon Air, are co-hosting this event. Members of the community are invited. The Road to Healing covers the five years Prince Edward County, Virginia closed down their public schools rather than integrate from 1959-1964. It also shares the compelling story of the eighteen-month crusade to bring healing and justice to those denied their education, through what the late Julian Bond described as the first civil rights-era reparations in U.S. history. Register here to attend the forum.
