Coming home to history
U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine tours the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia Sept. 21 to view the exhibit about a legal case he was involved with as a civil rights lawyer in Richmond. The exhibit, “Redlining in Richmond: HOME v. Nationwide,” details the historic suit Housing Opportunities Made Equal Inc., or HOME, lodged against the insurance company for discriminatory practices, including denying insurance to homeowners in African-American neighborhoods. Sen. Kaine represented HOME in the successful suit. Joining the tour is Heather Mullins Crislip, president and CEO of HOME. The exhibit is on display through Oct. 14 at the museum located in Jackson Ward.
