HBCU Campus Hosts Monks on Historic Walk for Peace

As the nation watches with bated breath, a remarkable journey has found its way to the heart of the HBCU community. The Monks' Walk for Peace has made a stop at Virginia State University, a historic Historically Black College and University (HBCU), offering a powerful moment of reflection and solidarity.

The Monks' Walk for Peace, a pilgrimage of compassion and community, has been captivating audiences across the country as the group of Buddhist monks steadily make their way through the winter weather, spreading a message of calm and unity. And now, they have chosen Virginia State University as their resting place for Day 98 of their remarkable journey.

For the students, alumni, and supporters of Virginia State University, this is a unique opportunity to witness history in the making.

While the organizers have requested no on-site visits during the Monks' stay, the faithful can still show their support by following the live map of the walk's progress and sharing the message across social media. By respecting the privacy of the Monks and amplifying their mission, the HBCU community can play a vital role in this historic journey.

"A repost can go a long way," the Walk for Peace team reminds us. "Keep an eye on the Live Map, leave an encouraging comment for the Monks. And, of course, send positive energy as they continue the journey."

For the HBCU community, this moment is a testament to the power of unity, the strength of diversity, and the transformative potential of higher education. As the Monks rest and recharge on the hallowed grounds of Virginia State University, the world watches with anticipation, eager to see how this historic visit will inspire and uplift the HBCU spirit.
