Thursday Vice Mayor Jimmy Gray also stopped by Barron Elementary to educate the kids on this important moment in our nation's history.
The books were received from a partnership with Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), who wanted to highlight the significance of equal access to transportation. On Transit Equity Day earlier this month, the vice mayor and Hampton students rode a bus together, and at the end, dedicated a plaque to Rosa Parks.
