Richmond’s slaves, and the Richmond slave trade, left an indelible but 
often unrecognized footprint on the City. That history remains vibrantly 
alive today in the passionate dialog surrounding the Slave Burial 
Ground, Lumpkin’s Jail, and other historical sites. Join us for a panel 
discussion with Jeffrey Ruggles, PhD., curator of prints and photographs 
Virginia Historical Society, Maureen G. Elgersman Lee, PhD., executive 
director Black History Museum and Cultural Center, and Delegate Delores 
McQuinn, 70th District representative to the Virginia House of 
Delegates, as we examine slavery in Richmond and recent archaeological 
discoveries.

The seventh annual VCU Libraries Black History Month Lecture is 
sponsored by the VCU Friends of the Library.
