associate professor in the Ethelyn R. Strong School of Social Work at Norfolk State University, continues her research and community advocacy to integrate the contributions of African- American women in Virginia in the public domain. Gov. Terry McAuliffe appointed Fairfax to the State Board of Historic Resources in 2016, and she is working to leave a legacy of committed stewardship to the post.
In May, Fairfax spoke at the
unveiling of the Ella Baker historical marker on Church Street. Baker was extremely instrumental in leadership development of young people in civil rights groups such as SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee), CORE (Congress of Racial Equality), the NAACP and the MFDP (Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party). She was
born in Norfolk’s Huntersville
community in 1903. Her family later moved to North Carolina. Baker is known for the saying, “Until the killing of Black men, Black mothers' sons, is as important as the killing of White

galvanizing Shaw University students (her alma mater) and North Carolina A&T students, to participate in peaceful demonstrations in North Carolina. Her role was not an easy one, but she believed that the struggle had to engage young people in order for it to have legitimacy for the next generation.
American on the State Board of Historic
Fairfax is the only African- Resources. When
she
learned that the marker was going to be placed near the Chrysler Museum/ Hall, she advocated for it to be erected closer to Huntersville where Baker was born. "Te visibility of markers is a community push, because it notes that the community is related to a personality that changed society. Markers are symbols of historic value, of pride and of a sense of community accomplishment." Te public may read the Baker marker on Church Street near Graves Funeral Home. Referring to the historical marker, Fairfax
said, "I believe that this
kind of community development activity adds cultural assets that may be parlayed into greater efforts of mobilization and advancement. We must not reduce historical markers to only relics of the past, but symbols of cultural data, collective memory and engagement for generations who inhabit these areas."
