Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Richmond, Virginia

RICHMOND, Va. - March 6, 2017 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for Richmond, Virginia

Author Elvatrice Parker Belsches will be available to sign copies of book

Richmond, Virginia boasts a proud legacy of achievement among its African-American residents. Known as the birthplace of black capitalism, Richmond had at the turn of the 20th century one of the largest black business districts in America. Medical pioneers, civil rights activists, education leaders, and enterprising bankers are listed among the city's African-American sons and daughters. As individuals these men and women made their mark not only on Richmond's, but also the nation's, history. As a community, they have endured centuries of change and worked together for the common good. In their determined faces and in unforgettable scenes of the past, we celebrate and pay tribute to their history.
