Virginia state Sen. Jennifer McClellan, right, and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine are shown after voting Tuesday in a “firehouse” primary for the 4th Congressional District at Diversity Richmond. Sen. McClellan hopes to succeed the late Rep. A. Donald McEachin, who was re-elected to the seat last month, but died 20 days later. The winner of Tueday’s election would be almost guaranteed to win the special election set for Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2023, given that the district that includes Eastern Henrico County and Richmond — and stretches through Petersburg into Southside Virginia — is rated solidly Democratic. If elected, Sen. McClellan will be the first Black woman sent from Virginia to Congress.

The last Confederate soldier on Richmond’s streets, Gen. Ambrose Powell Hill Jr., better known as A.P. Hill, was removed Monday from its pedestal at the intersection of Hermitage and Laburnum Monday, Dec.12,2022. After the nearly eight hours it took to remove the statue, masonry workers then searched for the general’s remains. They completed their task the next day after retrieving a skull, small bones and old cloth buried beneath molded stone under the monument. While the statue will be moved to an undisclosed location with 11 other city-owned monuments, Hill’s remains were being moved to a gravesite in Culpeper, purchased by the City of Richmond for $1,000. Eventually the monuments will be donated to the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia, according to City officials.
