Bill > HJR97

This resolution commends the Save Brookvale History Committee (SBHC) for its dedicated efforts in preserving and sharing the history of Brookvale High School, a historically significant school for Black students in Lancaster County that operated from 1959 to 1969. The SBHC has worked with the Lancaster Virginia Historical Society to create a digital archive of the school's materials, including yearbooks, and successfully advocated for a historical highway marker to commemorate the school. The resolution also acknowledges the support of alumni and community members, and highlights the SBHC's role in fostering dialogue about the future use of the school building to ensure its legacy is honored.
