An alumni celebration, tailgating, vendors, and a game played by Richmond Community Center 10U players that represented the past rivalry between Armstrong and Maggie Walker high schools were among the Nov. 24-25 weekend highlights during the 3rd Annual Armstrong-Walker Football Classic Legacy Project. The six-week celebration kicked off in October with an exhibit at the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia. “The Legacy and Soul of Our Community: 40 Years of the Armstrong Walker Classic” featured memorabilia and artifacts from the legendary, long-standing local high school football rivalry (1938–1978) between Armstrong and Maggie Walker high schools. Artifacts on loan for the exhibit included photos and films that span the 40-year history of the rivalry between the two schools, which broke attendance records with crowds of upward of 40,000 people at City Stadium, according to organizers. Other weekend events included a dedication of the Lou Anderson Stadium at John Marshall High School, a reception at the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, the Armstrong-Walker Hall of Fame Banquet at Armstrong High School and an Hour of Power Sunday service in the Armstrong High School auditorium.
