IKEA Norfolk kicked off Black History Month by raising the BHM flag and honoring the Norfolk 17, including Dr. Patricia Turner, who desegregated six all-white Norfolk Public Schools sixty-two years ago. Joined by Lisa Lindsay-Shaw, daughter of Norfolk 17 member Olivia Driver Lindsay, the ceremony commemorated the bravery of these pioneers.
