Dr. Woodson
Dr. Willie Woodson wore multiple hats as a Richmond faith leader.
Along with serving as a Presbyterian pastor for more than 30 years, he maintained a busy schedule of community activities, from mentoring city public school students to leading community programs honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and running an anti-crime organization.
