RICHMOND (WINA) – Governor Northam announces a $25-million initiative he’ll introduce to General Assembly money committees Wednesday that will in part transform Richmond’s Monument Avenue. He’ll seek to earmark $11-million to enable the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to hire staff and launch a community-driven initiative to redesign Monument Avenue where 7 Confederate statues were removed this year, and the state expects to remove the large Lee Monument next year should it clear litigation.
Additionally, what the Governor is calling an investment in historic justice initiatives includes $9-million for development of a Slavery Heritage Site in Richmond’s Shockoe Bottom which was the 2nd-largest slave market in the nation. The money will make improvements to the Richmond Slave Trail preserve what was known as the Devil’s Half-Acre or Lumpkin’s Jail as a historical site.
