Hi, This is ironic that you mentioned this. Very recently when going through some Richmond city newspapers of the early 1900's I saw where there were many advertisemnts from African-American businesses who were helping to support the Virginia State Fair for blacks. So the African-American community apprently had their own state fair for awhile. Beth [log in to unmask] > Does anyone know if the Virginia State Fair was segregated around the turn > of the century?
