A Year in Focus-From marches to milestones, Richmond’s people and events shaped the year. Demonstrations, school celebrations, cultural festivals and sports brought the community together across the city. These images capture the moments that marked 2025 in Richmond. Richmond Public Schools celebrated a major milestone at William Fox Elementary on Jan. 10 as the school’s cupola was ceremonially lifted into place. School Board members, elected officials and neighbors watched the dome go up in a two-hour operation that capped the building’s progress. (photo by Julianne Tripp Hillian/Richmond Free Press)
