Virginia is a beautiful and diverse state. It is enhanced by the many amazing people who were born here. Meet seven of them up close and learn how they made their state and the world a better place. Included are stories of Pocahontas, America’s first ambassador. George Washington refused to be king in order to create a more perfect country. Booker T. Washington dreamed of being able to read. Once he achieved his dreams, he created a school to help others learn as well. Then there’s the real story of Bill Bojangles Robinson. He was not the man in the famous song.
