The National Park Service will honor Maggie Lena Walker’s 160th birthday with a two-week celebration featuring events across Richmond highlighting the Black banking pioneer’s legacy.

Walker, a civil rights leader and community organizer, will be commemorated through art exhibits, tours, lectures and volunteer opportunities from July 5-20.

The celebration begins July 5 at the Maggie L. Walker Memorial Plaza with speakers hosted by the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia. From there, a parade will lead to Gallery 5, where student artwork inspired by Walker will be displayed and music will be provided by the Love Movement.

Special “Oral History House Tours” at the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site will run July 9-20, incorporating recordings of Walker’s grandchildren.

The site’s visitor center will exhibit previously unseen personal items.

On July 13, events include a community service day in the Jackson Ward neighborhood, a lecture on Walker’s life at the Richmond Public Library and financial literacy workshops at Third Street Bethel A.M.E. Church.

The Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site, open Tuesday through Saturday, will offer regular tours throughout the celebration.

A full schedule is available on the National Park Service website and the historic site’s Facebook page.
