How many of you know that banker, humanitarian and civil rights activist Maggie L. Walker lobbied Virginia Governor Westmoreland Davis and obtained funding for a separate hospital at Baker school, staffed by black doctors and nurses serving black patients who received disparate treatment during the 1918 flu pandemic. More than 1,000 people died from the flu in Richmond, Virginia during the fall of 1918.
