Meyera Oberndorf remembers the Greekfest riots at the Virginia Beach oceanfront in the summer of 1989 as both the worst and best moments of her 20 years running Virginia’s largest city.

She was disheartened by accusations the city did not welcome the young black college students who flocked there on Labor Day weekends.
