Belmead is situated on the James River in Powhatan, Virginia with over 2,600 acres of land. A great place to look for birds and take photos. The St Francis/St. Emma site, built in the 1890's, had two high schools, one for girls and one for boys. These two educational institutions influenced the lives of many African American woman and men.
They are trying to save their buildings and are having a concert to gather money to replace the roof on one. Please help as you can. You can donate online at http://www.francisemma.org/%5Cdefault.asp?Parent=24&Child=24
