This stone marker outside the Manchester Courthouse at 10th and Hull streets was put in place 86 years ago to honor the Manchester Elliott Grays, a Confederate unit formed just days after Virginia became an official Confederate state in 1861. It stands in the shadow of the courthouse now named for noted civil rights attorney and Richmond’s first Black mayor, Henry L. Marsh III, and his late brother, attorney Harold M. Marsh Sr.
