RICHMOND, Va. When gunshots rang out at National Park in D.C. during a major league baseball game earlier this month, Richmond City Councilman Michael Jones said his reaction at the moment is one example of why the city declared racism a public health crisis.
Jones was at the game sitting along the third baseline.
âIâm bothered by the fact that I wasnât bothered by the gunfire because I hear it all the time right here,â Jones said near a house in south Richmond. âIf Iâm that way at 53, what about these kids that are growing up in that?â
Career and the profession By William Richards
Fewer than one in five new architects identify as racial or
ethnic minorities, and just about two in five are women, according to the
National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. As we work to achieve a
future of greater equity, diversity, and inclusion in the profession, we can
learn important lessons in reckoning with the past. The Pioneering Architects series celebrates
the legacy of architects who overcame unimaginable obstacles. In sharing their
stories, we aim to pay overdue tribute to their talents, honor their courage,
and learn from their experiences.

Anyone who feels like there’s nothing fun and safe to do during the pandemic clearly hasn’t spoken with Shemicia Bowen, one of the three women behind the Richmond Black Restaurant Experience. For the food festival’s fifth iteration, she, Kelli Lemon, and Amy Wentz have pulled together a 10-day culinary journey featuring over 70 Black-owned businesses around town, running from March 5 to 14.
“With 27 food trucks and 43 brick-and-mortar establishments, we have a full menu of experiences for folks this year,” Bowen says. “We are trying to connect the culture of Richmond to the cuisine of Richmond, and that means going beyond soul food to include the full array of foods Black people provide this city.”
