About the event

Join us at A.T. Johnson Museum for “History of Education at A.T. Johnson,” an exciting lecture commemorating the legacy of African Americans in Westmoreland County's pursuit of access to higher education. A.T. Johnson High School opened in 1937 thanks to the concerted efforts of the African American community to provide its youth with more opportunities. In 1970, it became one of two integrated public high schools in the county. Keynote speaker, Dr. Lois Harrison- Jones, is a distinguished educational leader across the nation. One of her many accolades includes being the first woman and first African American woman superintendent in Virginia. Dr. Harrison-Jones is a 1950 graduate of A.T. Johnson High School.
