我从出生起就生活在弗吉尼亚，2016年4月第一次搬到里士满。很开心能借这个机会进一步探索我的新家。我新发现一些有趣的东西，比如被州政府移除的一些非裔美国地标，以及不顾民众反抗仍然被支持和拥护的有种族歧视的邦联领导人肖像。这座城市的基础设施（以及缺少的那些设施）仍然映射出里士满作为历史上短暂存在的美利坚联盟国的重建首都以及奴隶制和大屠杀起源地的痕迹。里士满刚刚才开始采取措施，在公共区域和共有意识上改写其对白人和同性恋团体、有色人种区别对待的历史。然而，一些组织和团体已经责无旁贷，关注同性恋群体和有色人种在文化和政治领域的声音。我们还有很长的路要走，但是新的里士满的种子已经播种。
I have lived in Virginia all my life, and first moved to Richmond in April of 2016. I was excited to use this opportunity to discover more about my new home. My research led me to discover African-American landmarks that had been erased by the state, as well as the icons of racist Confederate leaders that had been upheld and glorified despite opposition. Rochmond’s history as the reconstructed capitol of the short-lived Confederate states of America and its foundationon slavery and genocide are still very present in the city infrastructure (and lack thereof). Richmond is only just beginning to take steps to mediate the disparity between its treatment of white history versus the histories of queers and people of color in its public spaces and collective consciousness. However, some communities have taken this process into their own hands by centering the voices of queer people and folks of color in cultural and political spaces. We have a long way to go, but the seeds of the new Richmond are incubating.
