Explore the diversity of one of Richmond’s most vibrant neighborhoods. During our walk we’ll visit murals, revitalized buildings and historic homes to learn more about a neighborhood that has experienced numerous incarnations. As we trace its evolution from immigrant working-class neighborhood, to the “Harlem of the South” and a modern community today, we’ll explore how art is telling the story of Jackson Ward.
