Jayne Barnard, Virginians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, March 24, 2021 Last week, Virginia became the first Southern state to abolish the death penalty. At the signing ceremony, Gov. Ralph Northam and other speakers repeatedly referenced the racist history of the Virginia death penalty as a prime reason for its abolition. It is not a coincidence that Virginia, the birthplace of American slavery and the capital of the Confederacy, has been at the forefront of the American death penalty. Over the course of its bloodthirsty history, Virginia executed nearly 1,400 people, more than any other state in the union and most of those executed were Black.
