Glenna Hawkins Moore is a social driver and activist.

A Norfolk State College (now Norfolk State University) alumna, she earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 1974. Moore continued her education at Virginia Tech obtaining a master's degree in Urban Affairs in 1976.

For nearly three years, the activist and social driver has continued a protest, speaking at almost every Franklin County Board of Supervisors meeting, requesting the removal or relocation of a Confederate monument that stands in front of the County’s courthouse. Her strategy, consistently and relentlessly speaking to the Franklin County Board of Supervisors is to not only advocate for removing the emblem of the Confederacy, but to educate the board and public on the county’s Black history. Ultimately, Moore wants to leave a legacy for Franklin County school children: a more factual narrative about Civil War history and pique their curiosity about the history not taught.
