Today was History Day on the Hill sponsored by the @VirginiaMuseum. It was wonderful to have some students here from the New River Valley sharing their history projects. I was so impressed by their hard work and presentation. Thanks to these students for visiting the Capitol!

Congratulations to Sophie from George Washington Middle School for winning Virginia’s History Day competition. Her project is about the 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In, led by Samuel Tucker, a civil rights activist who pushed Alexandria to address racial injustice.
