Legacy Lounge Brings Generations Together | Charlottesville News

Charlottesville’s “Legacy Lounge” at the Fralin Museum of Art brought generations together under the vibrant spirit of the Harlem Renaissance, celebrating music, art, and storytelling as part of the Soul of Cville festival’s theme: “Future Heirlooms: We Are The Ancestors.” Organized by Khalilah Jones—a heartfelt return after missing the first festival due to family loss—this garden party featured vintage Harlem Renaissance fashion, Jacob Lawrence’s powerful artwork, and personal stories from elders like genealogist Leontyne Peck, whose cousin was jazz legend Don Redman. Peck was moved to see a diverse crowd and stressed the urgency of leaving meaningful legacies. The event wasn’t just about history—it was a call to action: create the future you want to inherit, because you’re already writing it.
