Virginia’s Native Son: The Election and Administration of Governor L. Douglas Wilder

In Virginia’s Native Son, the election of L. Douglas Wilder in Virginia represents the first and only time an African-American has been elected Governor in the United States history. The book hits on five main points of his election and administration (an analysis of the campaign victory, the media’s response to the campaign, the racism involved with the election and administration, the administration itself, and the legacy of the administration).
