AIA Housing Knowledge Community

The Library of Virginia House to Highway exhibit closes at the end of February.
Catch the exhibit in person in Richmond or check out the digital resources online.

Join us this evening, Thursday, July 17 from 4 to 7:15 p.m. for an opening celebration and reception for our new exhibition! “House to Highway: Reclaiming a Community History” explores the history of Jackson Ward, the district that was once the center of Richmond’s Black community, through the lens of the Skipwith-Roper family.

The event is free and open to the public with no registration required and features guided tours, information booths from community partners and a panel discussion with the exhibition team at 6:15 p.m. Learn more: https://lva-virginia.libcal.com/event/14803902

The exhibition, which runs until Feb. 28, 2026, is presented in partnership with The JXN Project, a historic preservation nonprofit organization dedicated to capturing the pivotal role of the ward in the Black American experience as one of the country’s first historically registered Black urban neighborhoods.

Please join us next Monday Oct. 6 for an AIA Housing and Community Development Knowledge Community webinar and lively discussion session: Learning from the World: Insights from the UN Habitat World Urban Forum 12 in Cairo, Egypt.
