PLEASE NOTE: DHR creates markers not to “honor” their subjects but rather to educate and inform the public about a person, place, or event of regional, state, or national importance. In this regard, erected markers are not memorials.
RICHMOND – The Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) has announced that a state historical marker approved by the Virginia Board of Historic Resources was dedicated in King William County. The marker, entitled “Racial Integrity” and the Tribes of King William, highlights the perseverance of Virginia’s Indigenous peoples who struggled against a 20th-century state law that obstructed their tribes’ efforts to gain state and federal recognition.
The marker dedication was held Saturday, April 4, at 2 p.m., at the site of the marker, located south of the county’s historic courthouse at 227 Courthouse Lane in King William (23086). This event was free and open to members of the public.
