Museum's Black History Month Lecture on Norfolk Botanical Garden Now available on YouTube


In celebration of Black History Month, the Greenbelt Museum was pleased to present Martha M. Williams  and Nate Cody who discussed the  history of Norfolk Botanical Garden, Virginia’s largest garden. We learned how through Franklin D. Roosevelt’s WPA program, 200 African American women and 20 African American men worked hard to clear swampland and transform the land into the garden it is today. To view the lecture visit our You Tube channel. To learn more about the Norfolk Botanical Garden click here.  Many thanks to staff at the Botanical Garden who helped make this talk possible. 


This lecture was made possible by the Friends of the Greenbelt Museum, a 501(c)3 nonprofit.  To keep this and other educational Museum programs going, please make a contribution to FOGM if your budget allows.  Thank you!

I usually don’t stick with simple browser games, but this one has a nice difficulty curve. Each run feels slightly different. Found a good version of Drift Boss unblocked that works well even on restricted networks.

What an interesting lecture! It's amazing to learn about the history of the Norfolk Botanical Garden and the people who made it possible. Speaking of history, have you ever read any romance book spice rating They can add some extra flavor to your reading list!

It's so amazing to learn the history behind Virginia's largest garden! Roosevelt's WPA program created a miracle. The way they transformed the land is like building a perfect Geometry Dash level. I have to visit your YouTube channel for the lecture right away!
