Norfolk

Norfolk State University awarded music visionary Pharrell Williams with an honorary doctorate degree.

Violence against black women is a growing epidemic, with spikes happening all over the country. Black women are constantly in the crosshairs of physical and mental abuse, usually by someone who claims to love them.

Pharrell Williams is launching a Norfolk-based private school for low-income families.

Police have not identified the victims, but the Facebook Live stream was uploaded by a T.J. Williams around 9 p.m. on the social media site, and has over 97,000 views.
