Yeah this was a weird one. My son (who’s at Binford) and I were talking about the name changes. We both had no idea who Wythe was so he looked him up and was like “sure he owned slaves in his 20s but he freed them and then became a staunch abolitionist, umm did the not look up this guy first?”

I worked for the company that did the renovations (IT & Ops) and I would always volunteer myself to bring food to our employees inside so I could check the place out. Hands down one of the coolest buildings in the whole city.

I love the location and cost of living. I particularly love Richmond as a city. But being able to drive up to NYC on a Friday for a little weekend getaway is amazing. And the drive is a breeze. Wake up and drive to DC for Breakfast, Philly for Lunch, and NYC for Dinner.

I mean…it was a bit more than a change of heart? He became extremely vocal and politically involved in abolishing slavery. Feels kinda weird to shit on someone who grew up thinking something was ok, realizing (against the social norm) it was NOT ok, and then fighting against it?
