Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin is a racist bully who wants to teach white kids that slavery never happened. Northam wore blackface but if you look hard enough you can see YoungKKKins white hood. @glennyoungkin #explorevirginia #glennyoungkin #racism #ralphnortham https://www.instagram.com/p/CZr1aVurv_K/?utm_medium=tumblr

Glenn Youngkin wants you to believe he's not racist while he whitewashes slavery and supports banning books by black authors. He also supports Trump's BIG LIE that Joe Biden somehow stole the election despite a complete lack of proof. Does #Virginia really want a Trump clone for governor?

Monument to the north and the south, placed by the veterans of the 128th New York Volunteer Regiment, dedicated October 15, 1907. This monument is located at Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park in #Virginia. This park was authorized on December 19, 2002 to protect several historically significant locations in the Shenandoah Valley of Northern Virginia, notably the site of the American Civil War Battle of Cedar Creek and the Belle Grove Plantation. The Battle of Cedar Creek was fought October 19, 1864 and resulted in a Union victory. The authorized boundary of this park covers over 3,700 acres but much of the land is privately owned. This park is a partnership park, with much of the land owned by nonprofit preservation groups, including the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Shenandoah Valley Battlefield Foundation, Belle Grove Plantation, and the Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation. Approximately 1,500 acres are owned by the park's partners. The @nationalparkservice currently owns about 90 acres of land at the park. #va #vahistory #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #nps #nps101 #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #goparks #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #explorevirginia #FindYourPark #optoutside #cedarcreek #bellegrove #nationalhistoricalpark #civilwar #battleofcedarcreek #battlefield #battle #landscape (at Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park)

Yesterday as we headed back up north, we rode a section of the @blueridgenps in #Virginia (our 61st @nationparkservice site). The Blue Ridge Parkway stretches 469 miles between Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. Begun in 1935, the Parkway was also envisioned as the first elongated national park. It is the longest road planned as a single unit in the United States. The parkway preserves a variety of historic buildings, either as interpretive exhibits or as picturesque roadside features and offers great views of the surrounding countryside. The majority of the highway was completed by 1966 and the final section, the Linn Cove Viaduct, was completed in 1987. #va #vahistory #SpreadTheHistory #historygirl #nps #nps101 #goparks #nationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparkservice #goparks #americanhistory #nationalparkgeek #travelblog #travelblogger #explore #blog #blogger #explorevirginia #FindYourPark #optoutside #blueridgeparkway #blueridgemountains #mountains #appalachia #parkway (at Blue Ridge Parkway S)
