Notes

Two former WAVY employees took home a win for their coverage “Road to Reconciliation: Uncovering our Past” in the Religion category. The special report by Kara Dixon and Photojournalist Jack Noonan highlighted the First Baptist Church in Williamsburg, Virginia, which is believed to be one of the oldest Black churches in the United States. Colonial Williamsburg and the congregation are working together to uncover the history of the church, through an excavation project.
