  • Valentine Richmond History | Jackson Ward Art Walk
    Valentine Richmond History Self-Guided Public Art Walk through Historic Jackson Ward All directions are in italics. Start your tour at the intersection of Marshall Street and 2nd Street. JACKSON WARD Today you will be touring a snippet of Jackson Ward, concentrating on the murals, many of which tell the stories of this historic neighborhood. Jackson Ward has a rich history that you will only begin to scratch the surface of on today’s walk. First a quick overview of its past; prior to the Civil War, Jackson Ward was a mix of free persons of color, European immigrants, and American-born white artisans. After the Civil War, Jackson Ward became the largest African American community in Richmond and a nationally important center of African American economic and cultural activity. Hippodrome Theater, c. 1959 (Independent Order of St. Luke Photograph Collection, The Valentine) It has been called The Harlem of the South and The Black Wall Street. Jackson Ward was the location of banks, clubs, insurance companies, and commercial and social institutions. State sponsored segregation developed in Richmond after the Civil War due to detrimental beliefs concerning the rights of African Americans which lead to restrictive public policies. By 1940, Jackson Ward had become home to approximately 5000 African Americans. In effect, Jackson Ward functioned politically and economically as a "separate city" within the larger metropolis. The area began to decline in the 1950s. One reason was the construction of the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike (I95) in the mid-50s, the result of federal redevelopment policy, called urban renewal, that supported clearing out of inner-city neighborhoods deemed “slums,” predominantly African American neighborhoods, to build new infrastructure.
