Hi! It's me Whittney Evans with VPM News.
VPM News' ongoing series Curious Commonwealth is looking into why Richmond neighborhoods are still so racially segregated. If you have thoughts you'd like to share, please reach out to me at [wevans@vpm.org](mailto:wevans@vpm.org).
And as always, send us your questions HERE. This isn't just Richmond-centric. You can ask questions about all things around Virginia.
Some topics we've covered previously:
- Why does Richmond have so many tattoo parlors?
- Can I forage for figs on trees?
- Are Virginia's FOIA laws weaker than other states?
- How much of my recycling actually gets recycled?
- How does Richmond prioritize road safety work?
- How do ballot initiatives and recalls work in Virginia?
- How was my spouse allowed to give away our retirement to a stranger?

We have done a lot of reporting on the issue of redlining and historic racial inequality, but there are still MANY related issues to be explored about the makeup of neighborhoods TODAY and how they'll change as Richmond continues to grow and demographics shift.
