Pinback button In 1885, Methodist minister William Booth established the Christian Mission Center in East London for the city’s poor and homeless. Booth changed the name to The Salvation Army in 1878, using military terms to organize the evangelical Christian movement. By the early 20th century, the Army had an international presence, with its various “corps” providing food depots, day nurseries and missionary hospitals. The Richmond Corps No. 1 opened on S. Linden Street in 1885. Richmond would eventually have three corps that operated youth clubs, a men’s home and the Evangeline Booth Home and Hospital for unwed mothers. The Friends League of the Salvation Army was a membership drive which, in 1919, cost $1, $2 or $5 a year. The funds raised from membership subscriptions financed the activities of the Army. Today, The Salvation Army Central Virginia Area Command manages more than forty programs in the region, including emergency and substance abuse shelters, disaster assistance, family services, Christmas assistance, a boys and girls club, and worship centers.

Committee on Relief of the Poor, Richmond VA, 1902
Richmond’s Committee for the Relief of the Poor managed white and black almshouses, a soup kitchen, a hospital and other health and social services. Construction of a new white almshouse on Hospital Street finished in 1860. During the Civil War, the building served as a Confederate hospital. Afterwards, it was briefly a home for the Virginia Military Institute and then resumed its original purpose. By the early 20th century, this almshouse was called the City Home. In 1959, the City Home became the Richmond Nursing Home, which operated until 1972. Today, the complex has been repurposed as low income apartments for seniors.

Children learning about corn, Josephine Newbury Demonstration Kindergarten, Richmond, Va.
Josephine Newbury teaching children about corn and other plants at the Josephine Newbury Demonstration Kindergarten, Richmond, Va. Before the Newbury Center opened in 1957, there was no education available in a school setting in Richmond or the surrounding counties for children younger than five. Preschool itself was an innovative concept then. This new purpose-built facility was created to become a model preschool for the training of teachers and the design of innovative curriculum. Professor Josephine Newbury of the Presbyterian School of Christian Education, Richmond, Va., established the school. The professional images in this collection are the work of the Dementi Studios, one of Richmond's foremost portrait and documentary photographers. The series was made shortly after the Demonstration Kindergarten opened in 1957. They present an idealized image of childhood experience, social expectations, and gender roles, as well as the educational philosophy and methods of the time.

Children play in a pretend grocery store, Josephine Newbury Demonstration Kindergarten, Richmond, Va.
Four children are shown playing in a pretend grocery store. One boy uses a play phone and writes a message; a girl retrieves items from the shelves; another girl pretends to check out while a boy uses a toy cash register to ring up the sale. The Newbury Center was fully accredited by the Virginia State Department of Education as a kindergarten and as a training venue for teacher certification. Summer training workshops were attended by students from 13 Virginia universities. Education majors from VCU and VUU could do their student teaching there. Nurses in training in pediatrics at Richmond Memorial, MCV and Johnston-Willis hospitals came to fulfill their requirements in education and socialization of the young child. The building included a mirrored glass panel running the full length of one wall in the main classroom, behind which up to 20 visitors could observe the children and their teachers. The observation room was soundproofed and air-conditioned. A microphone and speaker system made it possible to listen to the activities in the classroom. This facility was considered very advanced for its time; it was modeled after the teacher training lab at the University of Maryland. Before the Newbury Center opened in 1957, there was no education available in a school setting in Richmond or the surrounding counties for children younger than five. The photographs in this series present an idealized image of childhood experience, social expectations, and gender roles, as well as the educational philosophy and methods of the time.

The organization’s name has evolved over time to the Richmond Home for Boys and then the Virginia Home for Boys. When it began to house girls in 2004, it was renamed the Virginia Home for Boys and Girls. Among its services are foster care, alternative education, independent living services and psychiatric and medical care.

The I.W.W. song "Solidarity Forever" was sung to the tune of "John Brown's Body."

But the Union makes us strong. Chorus: Solidarity forever, solidarity forever, Solidarity forever, for the union makes us strong.
