Want to tour Richmond using a wheelchair?
James River Park System is taking a step to raise awareness of accessibility with the publication of "Shockoe Slip: From Top to Bottom," a slim tour book aimed at people in wheelchairs who often are discouraged from seeing historic sites because of physical barriers.
The tour book is the creation of Ralph White, manager of the James River Park System. He got the idea from an aunt who visited Richmond years ago. She used a wheelchair and was frustrated by the obstacles to sightseeing at the city's many historic locations.
