Community Read Dinner Panel

Albemarle County's Office of Equity & Inclusion

Join us for Albemarle County's third community read with dinner at the Yancey Community Center!

7625 Porters Rd

For our Fall 2022 Community Read, we have chosen Esmont Virginia by Andi Cumbo-Floyd as the feature read. From the author about the book: “From the Monacan Indians who first traveled the hills to the plantation owners who created their wealth on this land and the African American people whose labor was used to build that wealth to the stone-quarrying industries and the commercial communities that surrounded them, the story of Esmont is rich and very much ongoing. In this book, you will discover some of the stories that make this quiet community so important, and you may just find yourself inclined to make a visit to this rural place with roots that go deep in the stone of its land.” Copies of the book will be available to pick up for free at these locations: •	<a href="https://www.albemarle.org/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/68/378" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Yancey Community Center</a> •	<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/1600+5th+St,+Charlottesville,+VA+22902/@38.0049904,-78.5193983,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x89b385d582f52909:0x7e61aeeccd7a090c!8m2!3d38.0049862!4d-78.5172096?shorturl=1" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Albemarle County Department of Social Services (1600 5th St, Charlottesville VA 22902)</a> •	<a href="https://www.albemarle.org/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/52/360" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chris Greene Lake </a>•	<a href="https://www.albemarle.org/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/51/360" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Charlotte Humphris Park</a> •	<a href="https://www.albemarle.org/Home/Components/FacilityDirectory/FacilityDirectory/70/360" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Mint Springs Valley Park</a> The book is also available for purchase through the local nonprofit, <a href="https://www.friendsofesmont.com/esmont-history-book.html" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Friends of Esmont</a>.
