As Virginia’s next governor, Ralph Northam will take part in the 2019 dedication of the Virginia Women’s Monument on Capitol Square, which is to include a statue of a Confederate captain.
Sally
Louisa Tompkins, a Richmond hospital administrator renowned for her
facility’s low mortality rate, was one of 12 women from 400 years of
Virginia history chosen in 2013 for bronze statues as part of the
monument.
Northam, like members
of the Virginia Women’s Monument Commission interviewed for this story,
appears to see a distinction between Tompkins and other Confederate
officers.
