2021 Richmond History Makers and Community Update

Tuesday, March 9th  (5-6p.m.)  |  Online Event

Over more than a year, the Richmond Region has undergone tremendous change, witnessed historic transformation and taken strides to confront our complicated history. Trailblazers across Central Virginia have faced these challenges with strength and resolve.

For the 2021 Richmond History Makers & Community Update Program, our six honorees remind us that amidst these difficulties, there are still so many things we have to celebrate. The Valentine and the Community Foundation are excited to partner for this event, and we look forward to seeing you (virtually!) on March 9 to celebrate our honorees and to learn about our community’s progress.
