slavery museum for shockoe bottom?
More trouble for the proposed National Slavery Museum in Fredericksburg has people wondering if Richmond will get an another chance to be the home of the museum. The project has been stalled for several years following a ceremonial groundbreaking service on the Fredericksburg site. It is now being reported that the nonprofit museum has not paid its real estate taxes due in November of last year. With the discovery of Lumpkin’s Jail in what is now a Shockoe Bottom parking lot, there is a renewed effort to bring the museum to Richmond. [via]
