Greetings from Audrey Perry Williams
Branch President
Audrey hopes that her legacy will be that she never stopped talking to anyone that would listen and that she listened when God gave her the mission to tell the correct facts about our people!
She has a passion for our history and believes that if our history is to be told correctly, it must be told by us. She spends much of her time traveling around the Tidewater area and has traveled to North Carolina and Maryland doing what she does best, and that is talking to anyone that will listen about who we are and our accomplishments!
