CITYSCAPE //A portrait of Richmond icon Maggie L. Walker, left, and a marquee message welcome people attending a celebration last Friday at the Hippodrome Theater in Jackson Ward. The “Dear Co Workers” event celebrated the team of volunteers who helped Heather Huyck, an adjunct history professor at the College of William & Mary, in a seven-year effort to preserve documents, letters and papers of Mrs. Walker and the mutual aid society she led and through which she founded a bank, a newspaper and a department store. The papers are now protected in 20 boxes that owners Margaret T. and Wanda D. Stallings hope to donate to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
