Northam Dedicates Capitol Square Improvements

Govenor Ralph Northam rededicated “Reid’s Row,” a row of three historic houses on Governor Street in honor of Dr. William Ferguson Reid, who was the first African American elected to the General Assembly after Reconstruction and who co-founded the Richmond Crusade for Voters in 1956. The houses were formerly named Morson’s Row. The dedication was part of opening newly renovated state buildings on Capitol Square and other outdoor improvements.
