No one can question that Norfolk is a city of national historic significance. Yet, as you drive around Norfolk, it has gotten harder and harder to find buildings that reflect that history. The loss of our historic public schools has been particularly noticeable. In recent memory, we have lost Taylor Elementary, Larchmont Elementary, John T. West (the first public high school for Black students in Virginia), Ocean View Elementary and Meadowbrook. Now the fate of historic Maury High School is in the hands of the School Board.
