Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 14th of May.
Good morning, Norfolk.
🎭 Culture
The Chrysler Museum of Art is hosting three exhibitions that explore identity, history and inclusivity.
The shows—JJJJJerome Ellis: Contradictions open until November 2, Clearly Indigenous starting June 13, and Constructing Mexico opening on August 7—offer local and global views on art and cultural identity.
🌲 Environment
A new report card from William and Mary’s Batten School and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science shows Norfolk had the highest sea level rise rate on the East Coast at 5.6 millimeters per year based on 55 years of tide gauge data.
The report warns that rising seas will add about a foot and a half to tidal floods by 2050 — urging local leaders to plan for future challenges.
🏥 Health
In April, Virginia reported its first measles case in a young child — after officials found nearly half of kindergarten classes did not meet the 95% vaccination rate needed for herd immunity.
Norfolk health leaders are urging parents to vaccinate — saying that improved immunization rates will help prevent further outbreaks.
