of them. My goal with this chapter is to illuminates how Walker exerted a
tremendously positive and enduring influence on the citizens of Richmond,
Virginia. No one in Virginia's history was more dedicated, more inspiring,
or more influential in promoting educational opportunities for African
Americans than Maggie Walker.
