On January 25, 1900, the Virginia Senate unanimously passed a bill that required separate cars for white and Black passengers aboard trains. The legislation mandated that every compartment of a car be divided with “a good and substantial partition” and “bear in some conspicuous place appropriate words in plain letters indicating the race for which it is set apart.” The law also empowered railroad workers to remove passengers from the train who did not sit in the area assigned by the railroad official. It took effect on July 1 of that year.

This was Virginia’s first statewide segregation law. The U.S. Supreme Court’s 1896 ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson, which upheld Louisiana’s 1890 Separate Car Act, gave legal sanction to racially segregated spaces.

Prior to this legislation, Black and white Virginians could travel together on most transit in the state. The passage of the bill was precipitated by an event on Christmas Eve, 1899, when a Black person allegedly took a seat next to a white woman on a train and refused to move. The Richmond Times publicized the incident and declared that “God Almighty drew the color line and it cannot be obliterated.” Early in the year, Virginia’s white governor J. Hoge Tyler, who went on to sign the separate-car bill, had personally voiced displeasure at having to share a sleeping car with several Black people on his trip by rail from Virginia to Georgia.

In subsequent years, Virginia formally segregated steamboats (1900), schools (1902), streetcars (1906), prisons (1918), and public halls (1926). Most transportation and public spaces in Virginia would remain legally segregated until the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As we approach the final hours of this campaign, my heart is filled with gratitude and emotion. This journey has been one of the most profound experiences of my life, and I couldn’t have come this far without the unwavering support of each one of you.

To those who have endorsed me, despite knowing the other candidates personally, your support means more to me than words can express. It takes courage to stand with someone when you have personal ties, and I will never forget your faith in me. You’ve reminded me that true leadership is not just about who we know, but about the vision we believe in.

This campaign has been a tremendous learning experience. I’ve been deeply moved by how highly people regard the work I’m doing, and it has taught me that even when we don’t see eye to eye on every issue, respect and camaraderie can still prevail. It has also been eye-opening to witness how elections can become stressful and, at times, unexpectedly less honest than I imagined. But through it all, your support—whether through your vote, kind words, or silent prayers—has given me strength and peace.

By the end of the day Wednesday, or perhaps sooner, the results will be in. A win would be a significant step forward for the vision we share for our union family. But no matter the outcome, I want you all to know that I am committed to continuing the work we’ve started, both at BOLI and as a bargaining delegate for state workers.

Before the results are announced, I want to express my deepest, heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you. Your love, trust, and belief in me have carried me through this journey, and I will carry that with me always.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

With gratitude and solidarity,


Ibrahim.

To Nursing Homes Workers.

Vote For Ibrahim Coulibaly For SEIU 503 President

I am writing to you not just as a candidate for SEIU 503 President but as someone who has walked in your shoes. When I first arrived in this country, I chose to work as a homecare worker while attending English as a Second Language classes. Caring for the elderly is a deeply rooted tradition in my culture, and it is a role I hold in the highest regard. It was an honor for me to begin my career here by caring for those who needed it most, driven by the same values and dedication that I know each of you brings to your work every day.

I began by volunteering over 20 hours a week for more than eight months, and during that time, I learned the true meaning of compassion, patience, and resilience. I have provided care to clients in their homes and worked at Avamere and Riverbend Hospital in Eugene. In these roles, I witnessed firsthand the incredible challenges faced by caregivers—the long hours, the emotional toll, and the physical demands that often go unnoticed. I also saw the undeniable impact that our union has on the lives of those who work so hard to care for others.

The work you do is nothing short of heroic, yet I know that too often, your pay and working conditions do not reflect the critical role you play in our community. You deserve to be paid a living wage, to retire with dignity, and to receive your pay on time, without exception. You deserve to work in environments that are safe, where your well-being is prioritized just as much as that of the people you care for.

I am running for SEIU 503 President because I believe in fighting for the respect, recognition, and resources that nursing home workers like you deserve. I understand the challenges you face because I have faced them too. I want to be your voice, your advocate, and your ally in our union’s leadership.

Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive union that truly represents the needs of every worker. I ask for your support, not just for me, but for a future where every nursing home worker is valued and empowered.

Thank you for the care you provide every day and for considering my candidacy. I would be honored to stand with you and fight for the future we all deserve.

In solidarity,
Ibrahim Coulibaly
