Marching to beat the bans-Hundreds of women and their advocates, including Kristin Rodriguez, 40, took to the streets last Saturday for the Bans Off Our Bodies RVA rally and march to show their support for a woman’s right to make her own decisions when it comes to abortion. The Richmond rally was one of scores held across the country last weekend in advance of the U.S. Supreme Court’s new session that began Monday in which a case challenging abortion rights will be heard. That case, out of Mississippi, is expected to be argued Dec. 1, and has the potential to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that guaranteed women the constitutional protection of being able to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. Texas recently passed a law that also would ban abortion after six weeks, a timeframe when many women don’t know whether they are pregnant. In Richmond, speakers urged people to work to protect women’s reproductive freedom. The rally was held at Diversity Richmond, followed by a march down Sherwood Avenue to Hermitage Road. Ida Allen, who led chants with the bullhorn during the march, was a lead coordinator of the event.

Cityscape-Slices of life and scenes in Richmond/Richmond muralist Hamilton Glass created this new tribute to legendary Richmond journalist John Mitchell Jr. and the spirited Richmond Planet newspaper through which he battled lynching, segregation and Black oppression and promoted racial pride from 1884 until his death in 1929. Born enslaved, the “fighting editor” also started and ran a bank in Richmond and represented the Black community at City Hall as an elected member of the government. Significantly, this artistic homage is located miles from the historically Black Jackson Ward neighborhood in which Mr. Mitchell lived and worked. Location: The 1200 block of Myers Street, a short connector between Leigh Street and Arthur Ashe Boulevard on the doorstep of Scott’s Addition. The building is home to Tilt Creative + Production Studios, whose front door faces the boulevard.
