Please join us this
Thursday for HRBOR's September Third Thursday Hosted by LEGASI and Norfolk
State University's History Department. Complete event details are listed below. Norfolk State
University, the nation's seventh largest Historically Black University, was
founded as a satellite branch of Virginia Union University in 1935. LEGASI, Leading the
Education of Gay and Straight Individuals, was founded in 2004 in part to offer
both a voice and sounding board to the LGBT students and their allies on
campus. It has become one of the most visible and organized student
groups on campus, having been the first gay-straight alliance in Hampton Roads
to develop a Pride Week of its own. Its leaders have been particularly
ambitious, having been to the now-annual Summit for LGBT Black Leaders at the
White House three times. Complete event details are as follows:

Parking:
Use Gate 1 on Park Avenue, which is just off of
Brambleton Avenue; take the Presidential Parkway to either Open Lot 4 or
Commuter Lot 5. Tell the guard at Gate 1 that you are going to the HRBOR
event at the Library, and they should let you in. Open Lot 4 is the furthermost away: if you park there, walk past the tennis courts along the
Parkway to the Library; use the REAR entrance of the Library, which juts out as
the glassy, post-modern Rotunda, and which abuts a construction site for yet another
futuristic structure. There is a sidewalk that is most adjacent to the
construction site and that leads directly to the Rotunda. Commuter Lot 5 is
further down the Parkway, past the tennis courts. If you park there, just
walk straight ahead on the sidewalk most parallel to the construction site to
the glassy Rotunda. And, if you get lost, follow the signs and student
volunteers.
