Monks are resting at an HBCU this weekend, as Virginia State University has been confirmed as the night rest location for Day 98 of the Walk for Peace journey. In an update shared by the Walk for Peace team, the group announced that the walkers will settle in at Virginia State in Petersburg, Va., on Saturday night (1/31/2026). The walk has drawn attention for its message of calm, compassion, and community—and for the sight of Buddhist monks moving steadily mile by mile through winter weather.
