New York, NY Princeton, NJ Boston, MA Richmond, VA
Virginians were very pleased about the Monument honoring the contributions of Virginia women, and see this project as visible progress for the State.
Our Administration is committed to finding innovative ways to support the women whose contributions in our homes, places of work, and communities help shape our City.
...we want to recount some of the basic components of his legacy, some of which we admire, but some of which we deplore.
...I encourage anyone who knows the women who are being highlighted to take a moment to show them gratitude for what they do for our community.
