SUMMARY:Your Humble Petitioner: Legislative Petitions Gave Voice to Virginians
DESCRIPTION:On view through November 19\, 2022\n\nFree and open to the 
 public. Free parking is available below the Library at 800 East Broad 
 Street.\n\nImagine having to explain to the House of Delegates why you want 
 to divorce your spouse\, or change your name\, or take other actions that 
 affect your life. Virginians had to do just that for nearly a century. 
 Their stories can be found in the Library's Legislative Petitions 
 Collection.\n\nThe Library's collection of nearly 25\,000 petitions reveals 
 how Virginians communicated their concerns on a wide range of topics. Your 
 Humble Petitioner: Legislative Petitions Gave Voice to Virginians 
 highlights petitions that involved deeply personal issues such as divorce 
 and requests by emancipated Black people to remain in the commonwealth\, 
 offering a glimpse into the realities of 18th- and 19th-century 
 life.\n\nSee more information on the exhibition's webpage.
