Video celebrates the diversity of Leesburg’s residents.
Leesburg, VA (July 21, 2021) – The Leesburg Diversity Commission and Commission on Public
Art recently released the long-awaited “We Are Leesburg” video, a project delayed by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Compiled from submitted video clips and videos recorded at April’s Flower
& Garden Festival, the video seeks to capture and celebrate the diversity of the Town’s
residents.
“We wanted to show Leesburg’s diversity, not just in terms of race and ethnicity, but also age,
language spoken, and ability,” says Linda McCray, chair of the Diversity Commission . “Our
message with this video is that everyone is welcome here and is part of our community.”
Videographer José Villatoro of V. Visuals LLC donated his time to record and edit the video.
The video is available on the Town’s YouTube channel.
