Bookmark 2: Library of Virginia: African-American Virginia Trailblazers

This time I wanted to keep my bookmark more local. Being that the Library of Virginia is a large library organization here in downtown Richmond, I wanted to explore its website and was happy when I discovered their African-American trailblazers page. There is an option on the main page to view the 2009 and the 2010 trailblazers. Once you pick a year, it gives you pictures, names, and a brief background about why the selected ten African-Americans are trailblazers in Virginia. I think the state of Virginia has a very important cultural history, for not only races, but as one of the first areas to be explored and settled by the Europeans. Anyways, this is great segment of the Library of Virginia's website, and will teach you a little about the history of African-Americans in Virginia.
