By January, no section of Route 1 in Virginia will be named Jefferson Davis Highway.
The General Assembly gave final approval on Tuesday to a bill, sponsored by Del. Joshua Cole (D-Fredericksburg), that would rename Route 1 to “Emancipation Highway.” The bill includes a clause delaying its impact until the start of 2022.
Cole said this was intended to give localities enough time to vote on their own name, if they don’t like one state lawmakers have chosen.

The approval of two Covid-19 vaccines for use in the United States was a much-needed flicker of hope in recent weeks. Though that wave of relief has since been dampened by a slow and stumbling rollout, with inoculation appointments scarce in many states as the pandemic continues to ravage the nation.
But in the spirit of a gratitude practice, let’s focus on the positive. It is nothing short of miraculous that within a year, scientists have developed multiple vaccines against such an aggressive virus the previous record-holder for the fastest vaccine ever developed was mumps, which took four years.

Cornell has been breeding apples since the 1880s, but âthereâs a strong need to have varieties that are new,â said Susan K. Brown, with Cornell AgriTech in Geneva. âWe felt these three had the potential for a lot of different markets.â
Brown is a Herman M. Cohn Professor of Agriculture and Life Science at the School of Integrative Plant Science.
Cornell had long limited licensure of its apple varieties but loosened its rules in 2013 to help the newcomers take off.
