It is a family. Not a conventional family connected by bloodlines, perhaps, but a family nonetheless, :9>IDG>6A7D6G9 bound together by our shared passion for the remarkable ?Vc^XZB#=Vi]XdX` collections housed within our walls. Any day you visit you will 6cc:#=ZcYZghdc <gZ\\9#@^bWVaa see staff members throughout the agency working together BVgn7Zi]BX>ci^gZ to find new ways to preserve and make accessible the books, HjonHoVhoEVabZg documents, newspapers, photographs, and maps as well as the church, business, and genealogical records entrusted to :9>IDG our care. Every day we share our passion with visitors and 6cc:#=ZcYZghdc researchers who flock to us—in person and through our Web 8DEN:9>IDG site—in their quest to learn more about Virginia and its rich 400-year history. :b^an?#HVabdc Like all families today, the Library has experienced the stresses of the current <G6E=>89:H><C:G economic climate. Successive waves of budget reductions—including the most recent one 6bn8#L^cZ\VgYcZg this September—have compelled us to tighten our belts more than any other time since the 1930s. The state funding that we worked so hard to acquire for our conservation, E=DID<G6E=N E^ZggZ8djgid^h preservation, and micrographics programs is nearly all gone. We have drastically reduced our journal subscriptions and have put on hold the purchase of most books and 8DCIG>7JIDGH manuscripts, including new works of Virginia history and genealogy. We have closed the 7VgWVgV8#7Vihdc Virginia Shop to investigate more-effective business models for its operation. We have also EV^\ZHiZkZch7jX]W^cYZg lost several dedicated staff members and have many unfilled positions because we simply I]dbVh:#8VbYZc cannot cover the salary costs. ?^b<gZkZ The Library’s situation is not unique. Every family, business, government agency, 9dcVaYL#<jciZg IVbZ`V7#=dWWh and not-for-profit organization is facing the same reality. We will adjust and regroup, and, @Vi]n?dgYVc with luck, will emerge from this challenging time stronger, more focused, and even better 7ZihnG#Bdhh prepared to meet the future. ?Zcc^[Zg9Vk^hBX9V^Y Service to the public is our foremost priority, and we have tried to minimize the impact 9VaZA#CZ^\]Wdgh of our budget situation on our users. Still, we have had to make some changes, and we 8Vi]Zg^cZ<#DWg^dc thank you in advance for your patience and understanding if you encounter a waiting period 6jijbcH^behdc for materials or if it takes longer for someone to return your e-mail or phone call. If there 9VcHiVX`]djhZ is a positive note in this difficult situation, it is that we have so many loyal donors who continue to amaze us with their generous gifts. Those gifts help us keep our momentum going, despite the odds. We are grateful for your continued support of the Library of Virginia Foundation, whose fund-raising efforts are now more vital than ever.

DOUGLAS WILDER AND THE CONTINUING SIGNIFICANCE OF RACE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE 1989 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION Judson L. Jeffries, Universityof Southern California In 1989 Virginia elected an African-American to serve as its chief executive officer. Until Douglas Wilder , no African-American had ever been elected governor of any state. In 1872, the African-American lieutenant-go vernor of Louisiana, P .B.S. Pinchback', was elevated to the post of acting governor for 43 days. The operative word here is elevated. Success for African-American candidates running for high profile2 statewide office has been rare. With the exception of Wilder, only Edward Brooke and Carol Mosely Braun have been able to win high profile statewide office ; but even when they succeeded, the results did not reveal extensive white support for these candidates.

Introduction Of all the American states, Virginia can lay claim to the most thorough control by an oligarchy. Political power has been closely held by a small group of leaders who, themselves and their predecessors, have subverted democratic institutions and deprived most Virginians of a voice in their government. The Commonwealth possesses the characteristics more akin to those of England at about the time of the Reform Bill of 1832 than to those of any other state of the present-day South. It is a political museum piece. Yet the little oligarchy that rules Virginia demonstrates a sense of honor, an aversion to open venality, a degree of sensitivity to public opinion, a concern for efficiency in administration, and, so long as it does not cost much, a feeling of social responsibility. - Southern Politics in State and Nation, V. O. Key, Jr., 19491 Thus did V. O. Key, Jr. so famously describe Virginia’s political landscape in 1949 in his revolutionary book Southern Politics in State and Nation.

  • Suffragists Picketing the White House, 1917
    Library of Congress Suffragists Picketing the White House, 1917. 6 ARLI NGTON HISTORI CAL M AGAZINE Virginia Women and the Vote BY NANCY TATE The Big Picture August 26, 1920. Early that morning, and without fanfare, United States Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby signed a proclamation stating that the required 36 states had ratified the so-called Susan B. Anthony Amendment. That new 19 111 Amendment to the Constitution stated simply that "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex." That proclamation culminated 72 years of organized struggle to win the vote for women and finally succeeded only when one young legislator in the last state-Tennessee-switched his vote after receiving a letter from his mother. The struggle to win the vote was long and hard. It was more than a political struggle; it was deeply social and cultural as well. It took three generations of dedicated activists who withstood continual verbal abuse and ridicule. The messaging and the tactics took many forms, played out in every state, and involved women of all races and many men. "It took more than 900 local, state, and national campaigns, involving tens of thousands of grassroots volunteers, financed by millions of dollars of mostly small ( and a few large) donations by women across the country." 1 The final act was purposely done with little fanfare, but this movement produced the largest expansion of the franchise in our country's history. The 19 111 Amendment guarantees a constitutional right to vote for American women.

  • Virginia Wine Four Centuries of Change Now Out
    January 11, 2018 For Release: Virginia Wine Four Centuries of Change Now Out Attorney Andrew Painter today presented autographed copies of his recently-published book, Virginia Wine: Four Centuries of Change to Virginia’s outgoing Secretary of Commerce and Trade, Todd A. Haymore and Virginia Wine Marketing Office Director Annette R. Boyd. Painter also provided autographed copies for former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and First Lady Dorothy McAuliffe an appreciation for the administration’s support of the Virginia wine industry. Virginia Wine: Four Centuries of Change focuses on the history of Virginia's wine industry from its earliest Spanish accounts in 1570 through its rebirth and growth in the modern era. It provides a background on nearly all industry participants from Captain John Smith to Thomas Jefferson, to modern viticultural pioneers. Painter began writing the book in 2009 and has spent the better part of the last decade conducting research on the subject in libraries, at wineries and historic sites, and at academic institutions. Originally conceived as a conventional winery tour guide, the focus of the work evolved into a comprehensive historical account of the development of Virginia wine. “Given the widespread interest in wine, generally, and its increasing importance to Virginia commerce, the challenge proved irresistible,” Painter remarked. As Virginia's wine industry has grown, so too has academic and recreational interest in understanding its past. The book provides a detailed, yet readable examination of the dynamic personalities, diverse places, and engrossing personal and political struggles that have played a role in establishing the Old Dominion as one of the nation's preeminent wine regions.
