“Bak N Da Day” Holiday Concert At Randolph Community Center
‘Hidden Figures’ CodeRVA Event At Main RPL Wednesday Night
There’s another powerful movie event Wednesday at the main branch of the Richmond Public Library.
From FaceBook event page:
The Richmond Public Library, Bijou Film Center, and CodeVA are holding a very special, family-friendly celebration of Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 4-10) with a free public viewing of the acclaimed film, HIDDEN FIGURES.
Virginia, the Digital Dominion, is home to many “hidden figures” in Computer Science – both past and present. Computer Science Education Week each year also marks the birthday of Admiral Grace Hopper, a Navy officer, WWII hero, and longtime Virginia resident who invented the first computer compiler and discovered the first software “bug.” It is also home to NASA Langley, where the heroic human “computers” depicted in HIDDEN FIGURES worked to launch America ahead in the Space Race.
Come early for a special speaker panel discussing the important roles Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan played, not only in manned spaceflight, but also in helping launch modern computer science.
Worried about dinner? We have that covered! There will be pizza, popcorn and Tang!
Panel discussion starts @ 5:30PM
Movie starts @ 6:00PM

‘The Promised Land’ at Main Street RPL Tomorrow Night
Tomorrow night, downtown will be abuzz with First Friday/holiday celebrations. One event that might be of interest is a documentary screening at the Main Richmond Public Library at 6:30 pm, The Promise Land: The Story of Pocahontas Island. It tells the true story of one of if not the oldest free African American communities in the United States, as well as the life of the Island’s caretaker, Mr. Richard Stewart.
Pocahontas Island is down in Petersburg. It’s an interesting, historic enclave, something that Oregon Hill knows about. And some people may not know that Oregon Hill has a bit of ‘free African American’ history as well.
Oregon Hill Neighborhood Association Meeting Tomorrow
From email announcement:
Hello all,
OHNA will be meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, November 28th, at 7 pm, at St. Andrew’s Parish House. There will be a pot luck beforehand, starting around 6:30 pm.
Re: OHNA elections
OHNA will be holding its yearly elections. I will be stepping down after 8 years as President. I’ve enjoyed my time serving the neighborhood, but I am no longer able to give the neighborhood the attention it deserves due to my grandmother’s health issues.Please come join us in electing a new president.
Re: December OHNA meeting.
Because of the calendar this year, OHNA’s regular scheduled meeting will fall the day after Christmas. The membership decided to give itself a break this year and cancel the December meeting. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be January 23, 2018.Thanks
