Join us for the launch of historian Brent Tarter’s latest book, "Gerrymanders: How Redistricting Has Protected Slavery, White Supremacy, and Partisan Minorities in Virginia." The author, a founding editor of the Library of Virginia’s Dictionary of Virginia Biography, will be joined onstage by Brian Cannon (executive director of OneVirginia2021, a nonpartisan organization advocating for fair redistricting in Virginia) and Dr. Julian Hayter (a historian and associate professor of leadership studies at the University of Richmond) for a discussion on this timely topic. 

Many are aware that gerrymandering exists and suspect it plays a role in our elections, but its history goes far deeper, and its impacts are far greater, than most realize. In "Gerrymanders," Tarter focuses on Virginia’s long history of gerrymandering to uncover its immense influence on the state’s politics and to provide perspective on how the practice impacts politics nationally. On the eve of the 2021 session of the General Assembly, which will redraw district lines for Virginia’s state Senate and House of Delegates, as well as for the U.S. House of Representatives, Tarter’s book provides an eye-opening investigation of gerrymandering and its pervasive effect on our local, state, and national politics and government. 

A book signing will follow the talk. For more information, contact Emma Ito at emma.ito@lva.virginia.gov or 804.692.3726.
