Singleton, president and chief executive officer of the Metropolitan Business League. Richmond City Council voted in February to authorize the sign to honor Mr. Singleton’s role as an advocate for minority-owned and small business development. Dozens of family members and friends were on hand for the ceremony Tuesday. Helping to remove the sign are the Singletons’ daughter, Christine, and son, Oliver.

A pop of color // A field of colorful printed poppies decorates the front steps of the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. Location: 428 N. Boulevard. The red flowers, known as remembrance poppies, are designed to call attention to the World War I America exhibition on display at the museum through July 29. Poppies have long been a memorial symbol for those who died in that war. Described as the largest traveling exhibition of its kind, the display includes items ranging from President Woodrow Wilson’s hat and cane to escape artist Harry Houdini’s handcuffs along with photos, helmets, gas masks and other items. The Richmond museum is the only East Coast venue hosting the exhibition this year. The museum plans to keep the poppy field, printed on “brick vinyl” material, on its steps until Nov. 11, 2018, when the nation and the world will mark the 100th anniversary of the conflict’s end.
