Legacy Night with Barbara Dobbins

The Columbia Peace & Justice Initiative’s 4th Annual Legacy Night will honor the life and legacy of Barbara Dobbins—educator, trailblazer, and community leader—along with a panel discussion of present-day African American female principals in Maury County.

This evening will include light hors d'oeuvres, presentation of Legacy Award, panel discussion, and updates on CPJI’s current and future projects.
