    Greetings!! Thank you for this website and its plethora of information! I came across this website after reading an article in the New Yorker about the need to preserve African American historical sites. Thank you for your efforts in leading this project in the City of Richmond. I noticed that there is an event coming up about the impact of Supreme Court cases on Native American sovereignty. I would highly recommend checking out the work of Dr. David Wilkins, a visiting professor at the University of Richmond who is one of the premier scholars on Native American laws, governance and sovereignty. I know this because I've spent a semester uploading his work into the University's Scholarship Repository. His work is amazing and we're fortunate to have him visiting Richmond. Here's a link to his bio: https://www.richmond.edu/directory/bios/dwilkins/. Also, I would appreciate more information on the "Most Endangered Places List". What are the requirements for such nominations? Thank you kindly and I look forward to hearing from someone soon!

    Truly, this article is really one of the very best in the history of articles. I am a antique ’Article’ collector and I sometimes read some new articles if I find them interesting. And I found this one pretty fascinating and it should go into my collection. Very good work!All note able
