RICHMOND â Governor Ralph Northam announced five new state historical highway markers honoring the Commonwealth s African American history.
âThe contributions of influential African Americans have frequently been ignored, underrepresented, and even silenced,â said Governor Northam. âWith this initiative, we have asked students and teachers to help us tell a more accurate, comprehensive, and inclusive Virginia story by suggesting new historical markers that recognize Black Virginians and the important ways they have shaped our shared history. I am grateful to all those who have joined in our efforts to build a strong and equitable Commonwealth.â
