Maggie Walker’s home in the Jackson Ward of Richmond is just a short distance from downtown. She was an amazing woman of great accomplishments and it is a treat to tour her home restored by the NPS. Her story needs to be known as she serves as an inspiration to many people. A bit of her story is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggie_L._Walker. But the experience of visiting her home and hearing the stories told by the rangers, seeing the impact the first African-American woman to charter a bank and the first African-American woman to serve as a bank president had on her community is special. She was a force for education, financial management, independent thinking, race relations and so much more. Come visit her home someday.
