<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods, Richmond, Virginia."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Richmond is a classic Southern city, most notable as the Confederate capitol. However, the irony of Richmond is that much of its beautiful architecture was built by Black laborers.</b></p><br><p>The city's vast and varied collection of architecture provides an archive of African American history, both of enslaved and free peoples. Author Selden Richardson explains how iconic symbols of old Richmond and the generations of Black laborers who helped assemble it are embodied in both the preserved and the forgotten architecture of the city. After you finish this book, it will be as if the buildings in Richmond tell their own stories to you.</p>
