| ADAMS deplores the recent racist vandalism to the historic Ashburn Colored School here in Loudoun County, Virginia and calls for Unity. The Historic Ashburn Colored School operated from 1892 until the late 1950s and was undergoing a rehabilitation project.
ADAMS also encourages you to join on Sunday, October 9th at 8:00 AM This is simply a message of hate that does not belong in Loudoun County in 2016, and we are appreciative that so many Loudouners, Virginians, Government Officials, and Law Enforcement have vigorously condemned this vandalism in the strongest possible terms. In an effort to counter this act of hate and promote unity, ADAMS will make a donation to the restoration project and encourages its members and people of all faiths to donate and support the restoration and help the school.
