This Monday (4/4/2022), the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Wake County Commissioners had a final voting on the renaming of Village Regional Library–and it is now officially OBERLIN REGIONAL LIBRARY!!
Check out https://wake.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=7&clip_id=2681&meta_id=237428 for a speech by us, along with Ms. Cheryl Williams of the Oberlin community, who helped us in countless ways along this journey, and https://wake.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=7&clip_id=2681&meta_id=237449 for the actual voting by the Commisioners!
Thank you so much to EVERYONE who has supported our efforts! Broadening everyone’s perspectives on history is crucial and we really hope that this will do just that.
