Help us out with this monumental question — who would you put on a Mount Rushmore for Richmond?

We have some initial thoughts, from historic figures like Maggie Walker to contemporary artists like D’Angelo. Suggestions should have strong Richmond roots — either born and raised or transplants. However, they don’t have to be human — if the people want Bagel the Beagle, who are we to fight it?

Add your recommendations by filling out this survey. We’ll chisel down the results until they’re set in stone.
