A. DONALD McEACHIN of virginia in the house of representatives Friday, October 11, 2019 Mr. McEACHIN. Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to celebrate the unveiling of the Virginia Women's Monument in Richmond, Virginia. I would like to recognize the Virginia Council on Women for hosting the unveiling of this groundbreaking monument, the first-of-its-kind in the country to be erected on State Capitol grounds. The Virginia Women's Monument acknowledges the profound achievements and lasting legacies of extraordinary women who have lived and worked in Virginia. The monument honors over four hundred years of women's history through twelve historic Virginia women: Anne Burras Laydon, Cockacoeske, Mary Draper Ingles, Martha Washington, Clementina Rind, Elizabeth Keckley, Sally L. Tompkins, Maggie L. Walker, Sarah G. Jones, Laura S. Copenhaver, Virginia E. Randolph, and Adele Clark. These women made significant strides for the betterment of our Commonwealth and our country. Their distinct accomplishments range across various fields, such as business, banking, arts, politics, medicine, and social justice. These women deserve a prominent platform and our nation's attention, and I am honored to recognize them. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing these distinguished women and honoring their memories through the dedication of the Virginia Women's Monument. ____________________ |
