Us Yankees know Richmond, VA as the capital of the confederacy, the heart of racism. However, there is so much more to this glorious city. The diversity is incomparable and the art is a sight to behold. As my mother said to me when I returned home, “See, this is why you do not judge a book by its cover!” Although this city has a history rooted in bloodshed and injustice, it has also been the heart of the Civil Rights Movement, in the 60s and now. I learned more than I ever thought possible during my 9-day trip. So, as I stand at a crossroads in my life, with no commitment to a job or partner, Richmond is looking like a snack.
