Join us at 3 pm for historian Jody Lahendro’s presentation, Preserving Black History in Rural Virginia. Since retiring five years ago as UVA’s Historic Preservation Architect, Jody Lahendro, FAIA, has provided professional services to central Virginia nonprofits seeking to preserve historic Black schools and churches.  In this talk, Jody will present several of his projects, from initial community engagement and grant assistance, through the architectural and construction process.  He will also discuss how these buildings fit within the broader cultural histories of Black education and religion.
