Abstract:
"On July 30, 2019, the Virginia General Assembly hosted a truly once-in-a-lifetime event for our historic institution at the birthplace of American democracy--Jamestown. The 400th anniversary of the first and oldest continuous English-speaking representative assembly in the Western Hemisphere--a history spanning from 1619 to 2019--was a significant milestone, not only for all Virginians but also for every American ... This special publication records how we commemorated that remarkable occasion on July 30, 2019. We hope that this 400th Anniversary Commemorative Session Journal encourages everyone to look back upon our storied past, then look forward in order to envision--and work together for--a better, brighter future. The Virginia General Assembly's journey continues as part of America's work to forge a more perfect union."-- Preface.
