In this recent work, Norfolk-native artist Maizelle captures a night out on Church Street in Norfolk, circa 1955. The title, "Queen’s," refers both to a popular restaurant and event space frequented by the local African American community, as well as to the two ladies in the foreground dressed-up for a night out with their dates.
