“You can call it racism, you could call it white supremacy.”
Historian Joseph McGill, regarding the change in tour protocols for Virginia’s executive mansion to exclude visits to the Carriage House, where enslaved workers once slept and worked; some tours simply have not mentioned slavery at all. The change marks a shift away from Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s predecessor, Ralph Northam, who participated in a multiyear effort to tell a more complete history of the mansion. (VPM — Sept. 2, 2022)
