they are victories for virginia. we achieve them by working together and doing what it takes to build a new virginia economy from the bottom up. and if you look at the numbers, it's clear we are making substantial progress. when i took office, virginia's unemployment rate was 5.4%. over the course of this administration, it fell to as low as 3.7% which represented the steepest decline in any governor's term in 32 years. today as more and more virgin n virginians respond to our strengthening economy by returning to the labor force our 4.2% rate is 1.2% lower than we began our work together and now the second lowest rate of any major state in america. in total, virginia has created 167,100 new jobs in the last 3 years. these are important indicators that our efforts are working and that our trajectory is indisputably upward but we should also remember that these numbers actually represent real people with real stories. i would like to take a moment to tell you about a few people who have benefited from actions that we

virginia women were very vocal about their desire to have the right to vote, but in many cases, virginia women who supported suffrage were in the minority. virginia was not a state that was very enthusiastically behind the movement towards women's right to vote. virginia, in fact, doesn't ratify the 19th amendment until 1952. so despite the fact it passes nationally in 1920, virginia doesn't decide that they want to ratify that amendment until 1952. the notion that virginia women are genteel southern ladies who don't want to be troubled with politics sort of reinforces this notion that suffrage for women isn't an important virginian priority but there are women like, for example, norra houston who wore the dress we see here jn rou generously on loan to us from the valentine museum, she would have been able to counter that argument with quite a great number of arguments of her own. that's part of why pamphlets like the ones we have on display here explaining the reasons for which women should have been given the right to vote were such essential tools for the early 20th century suffragist

it was in portsmouth, virginia. this is where individuals would have been chained in public to have their backs struck with some kind of a leather strap as a public punishment for whatever crime their owners had deemed they were guilty of. and virginia, while it was not necessarily a place that had the highest population of enslaved laborers in the nation, it was the hub for the domestic slave trade. so richmond, for example, was home to numerous auction houses in which a person who was hoping to buy enslaved laborers would actually come to richmond with a specific purpose in mind of buying these people to then take back to their respective plantations. so the artifacts that we have in this section focus on that industry. richmond actually profited very much in the mid 1800s from the domestic slave trade. we have a cain here that was owned by a slave auctioneer. this is a person that would have run the auction. the collar would have been worn by an enslaved virginian. these pieces highlight the inhumanity of an inst
