This additional documentation is submitted in order to expand the significance of the Jackson Ward Historic District to include the Civil Rights era (1940-1970). A majority of the buildings associated with the institutions and people who contributed to the Civil Rights movement were constructed prior to 1940. Most have architectural or historical significance established in earlier survey efforts. A majority of these properties are typical of the Italianate and Greek Revival buildings found throughout the neighborhood. This amendment identifies buildings specifically associated with A6ican Americans in Richmond who fought to win the civil rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution. We identify thirteen properties connected with the Civil Rights movement and eight properties associated with community leaders
