{"id":97646,"count":11,"description":"Often called the River City, Richmond owes its very existence to the James River, which served as a waterway bringing English settlers, commercial vessels, and later millions of enslaved Africans to these shores. By sharing stories about the river from a cultural perspective, we seek to explain how the river affects both the city of Richmond and its people. We have given a voice to people who not only enjoy the resource, but also those who draw inspiration from it, those who cherish it, and those who make it a priority to protect it.","link":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/walkingrichmond\/category\/river-culture\/","name":"River Culture","slug":"river-culture","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/walkingrichmond\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/97646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/walkingrichmond\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/walkingrichmond\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.richmond.edu\/walkingrichmond\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=97646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
