Shirin Spencer toured Union Kempsville High School Museum in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Historian Edna Hendrix and former student Roy Reid also spoke about the school. Union Kempsville High School was the first high school for African Americans in Princess Anne County, now known as Virginia Beach, Virginia. In the 1930s, the local African-American community came together to raise money for a school, and the result was Princess Anne County Training School. In 1962 the school changed its name to Union Kempsville High School.
