Healing the Wounds of Racism: a Case Study of Richmond, Virginia
- The UNESCO Slave Route Project: Healing the Wounds of Slavery - Healing the Wounds of Racism: A Case Study of Richmond, Virginia Rob Corcoran Abstract Few U.S. cities carry a heavier burden of racial wounds than Richmond, Virginia. From its founding on the land of the indigenous population and its prominence in the interstate commerce of slavery to its role as capital of the Southern Confederacy during the Civil War and its advocacy for Massive Resistance, the city has symbolized America’s history of racism. Yet, despite this traumatic history, in recent decades Richmond has demonstrated an effective and sustained approach to healing the wounds of racism which has attracted national and international attention. Starting with the city’s first public walk through its racial history in 1993 – a first in the nation – this process of acknowledgment and repair, which grew from an organic citizen’s movement, now involves museums, universities, libraries, city government, business, nonprofit organizations, and faith communities. In this former leading slave market and capital of the Confederate states, citizens of all backgrounds are motivated by a vision that the place of great pain might be the place where healing could begin. - Healing the Wounds of Racism: A Case Study of Richmond, Virginia - Introduction Few U.S. cities carry a heavier burden of racial wounds than Richmond, Virginia.

Steering Committee 2007 Annual Report
2007 Annual Report Jamestown 2007 Steering Committee The annual Jamestown 2007 Progress Report to the Governor and chairs of the Senate Finance Committee and the House of Delegates Appropriation Committee is produced in-house at the Jamestown 2007 office in accordance with Item 252, Paragraph 3, of the 2000 Appropriations Act. For a more in-depth report of activities that occurred in 2007, we encourage you to visit our Web site at www.Americas400thAnniversary.com or email us at [email protected]. Jamestown 2007 Steering Committee May 2006 marked the beginning of events observing a landmark American moment – the 400th anniversary of Jamestown’s founding. Since then the international spotlight has been on the Commonwealth many times. In January 2007, Vice President Dick Cheney addressed a special commemorative meeting of the General Assembly at Historic Jamestowne’s Memorial Church. He noted that “much of America’s story began with a little three-sided fort, raised on the banks of the James River.” That evening, Governor Tim Kaine delivered his State of the Commonwealth message from Jamestown Settlement. In the past 18 months, Jamestown 2007 has held more than a dozen Signature Events, developed hundreds of statewide and national partnerships, recognized nearly 200 official communities, and compiled a remarkable record of achievement. The commemoration has produced markedly increased visitation with guest attendance up an average of 50% at the Jamestown sites, increased awareness of travel opportunities throughout Virginia, brought international attention to the Commonwealth, and raised understanding of Virginia’s pivotal role in the nation’s history. An economic impact study is being completed that will help us gauge the full benefit of the commemoration. -

Sabato Highlights✰✰✰ 5 ✰The 2001General Election ✰✰ ✰Democrats Recapture Governorship after Eight Years Out Overall ☑ Aft er eight years out of power, the Democrats reclaimed the governorship with Mark Warner and also secured the lieutenant governor’s post with Tim Kaine. Both won narrow victories, 52.2 percent for Warner and 50.3 percent for Kaine. ☑ The Republicans triumphed in down- ballot races, however. Jerry Kilgore cap- tured the offi ce of attorney general with the largest statewide percentage of the winners, 60 percent. And the GOP collected a startling 64 seats out of 100 in the House of Delegates (66, counting two conservative Independents who usu- ally vote with the Republicans). It was only in 1999 that Republicans elected their fi rst House of Delegates majority, a “mere” 53 seats. Redistricting earlier in 2001 produced most of the electoral gains, of course. Statewide Offi ces ☑ Over 1.9 million Virginians cast ballots in 2001, an eight percent gain from the last governor’s election in 1997 but only 46 percent of registered voters and 36 percent of those aged 18 and older. ☑ Warner and Kaine won over six in ten votes in the more liberal central cities, but McEachin secured a surprisingly low 54 percent in the cities. Warner nar- rowly won suburban Virginia and also scored a breakthrough in the rural areas, with over 51 percent of their votes. Kilgore swamped McEachin in both the rural areas and the suburbs. Katzen garnered small margins in both rural and suburban areas, but it could not overcome Kaine’s large central- city majority. -
