JUSTICE
‘A PROFOUNDLY RACIST INSTITUTION’ Virginia repeals the death penalty after more than four centuries, highlighting the practice’s history of racial disparity

says the risk of executing an innocent person through his work as a prosecutor in Hampton has kept him awake at night. According to the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC), 185 former death-row prisoners in the U.S. have been exonerated of all charges since 1973. “First and foremost, this is a profoundly racist institution, and you cannot extricate the death penalty from racism,” Mullin says. Virginia’s record of executions reveals a history of racial disparity. According to DPIC, state laws in the 1800s codified capital crimes by race so that Black Virginians could receive a death sentence for a much broader range of crimes than white defendants. Virginia executed 73 Black men for rape, attempted rape or robbery from 1900 to 1969, a period in which no white men were executed for those same crimes.
LaKeisha Cook, criminal justice reform organizer for the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy, says Virginia’s racially uneven history with executions can be directly linked to slavery and lynchings during the Jim Crow era. Cook coalesced the support of hundreds of Virginia churches to advocate for death penalty abolition, including broad support from the Black faith community. Cook and others hope to see the end of the death penalty spur further moves toward a more equitable criminal justice system. “When our faith leaders understood that direct connection and were armed with the statistics of how many African Americans have been disproportionately impacted by capital punishment … they [agreed to] join voices with everyone else in saying that it’s time for abolition,” Cook says. —Rodrigo Arriaza

or Rachel Sutphin, the execution of her father’s killer didn’t bring a sense of solace or retribution. Instead, it only reminded her of past trauma and uncovered what she now sees as an immoral institution. “The death penalty itself has never felt comfortable for me because it’s the state killing someone as punishment for killing someone, in hopes of preventing more killings later,” Sutphin says. “Instead of there being any justice and redemption, there’s just more death.” Her father, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputy Cpl. Eric Sutphin, was one of two men who were killed in 2006 by William Morva during an attempted escape from state custody. After learning that Morva suffered from severe mental illness, Sutphin began advocating publicly for ending the death penalty when former Gov. Terry McAuliffe denied his petition for clemency in 2017. With advocates like Sutphin in mind, the Virginia General Assembly approved legislation to end capital punishment in the commonwealth, with Gov. Ralph Northam signing the bill into law on March 24, more than four centuries after the first execution in American history took place at Jamestown. Virginia is now the 23rd state to ban the practice. More than 1,400 Virginians have been executed since 1608, more than in any other state. However, there hasn’t been a new death sentence in Virginia since 2011, and Morva was the last person to be executed here, in 2017. Del. Mike Mullin (D-Newport News), who introduced one of two bills seeking to end the practice,

BUILDING ENTREPRENEURS VCU’S DA VINCI CENTER LAUNCHES TWO NEW INITIATIVES Virginia Commonwealth University has launched two new initiatives through its da Vinci Center for Innovation: the Entrepreneurship Academy and the Student Storefront. The projects are a collaboration between the da Vinci Center and two business-focused organizations in Richmond: Activation Capital, which supports innovative entrepreneurs and their startup ventures, and the Jackson Ward Collective (JWC), a new hub for Black business owners. The Academy will bring together 150 first-generation college students and low-income students with 50 local entrepreneurs identified by JWC and Activation Capital. “We think it’s important to collaborate within the ecosystem,” says JWC co-founder Melody Short. Students will complete learning modules in four areas of 21st-century entrepreneurship, with topics ranging from design thinking to digital literacy and business communications. Traditional academic instruction will be combined with mentoring and networking opportunities, says Garret Westlake, executive director of the da Vinci Center. The academy welcomed its inaugural class virtually in January but hopes to move to face-to-face instruction and events when it is safe to do so, Westlake says. The Entrepreneurship Academy will be coupled with the introduction of VCU’s new Student Storefront, where academy participants can sell products directly to the public. The storefront has a tentative opening date of April 30. The storefront’s offerings will be “as broad as the imagination of students,” says Westlake, who likened the Broad Street storefront to a “brick-and-mortar Kickstarter.” —Nikhil Mehta

Q&A
A DIFFERENT APPROACH Kelly King Horne, executive director of Homeward, on helping the homeless during a pandemic
K
Richmond magazine: What has been the biggest challenge for Homeward during the pandemic?
Kelly King Horne: We are not a long-term
shelter operator, but for health and safety reasons, there was an immediate need to offer safe indoor accommodations for people who needed shelter. Within three days of the pandemic hitting, we had set up a shelter response center. And I have even more respect for the people who do that work every day. We were able to do this quickly because of relationships with partners that we had built over the years, and [we] have had to manage through the unknown with a population that was vulnerable before the pandemic hit. The most difficult part was that while many busi-

nesses and organizations shut down, we continued to provide services. We kept working. We quickly found a partner to help us operate the pandemic response shelter, and though it has been very difficult every single day, we’ve known it was worth it every single day. We have helped 1,500 people since the start of the pandemic.
RM: How has Homeward adapted to the changing needs and challenges of the people you serve?
Horne: The pandemic stripped away the
veneer that housing was being resolved in this country, pushing the issue to the forefront. Housing and homelessness are symptoms of racial inequity, and now so many people realize how close they are to homelessness themselves with the tightening of the rental market and lack of affordable housing.
RM: How do you deal with criticism of Homeward? Horne: We focused on our core work of finding
shelter for people. But we also listened to the criticism, especially surrounding racial equity issues, focusing on what we could learn. And we focused on education and communication — how we could best reach people in crisis to make sure they have accurate information about how we may be able to help them.
RM: With the pandemic continuing, what are
your goals for Homeward in the coming year?
Horne: First, we will be watching the Ameri-
can Rescue bill. Those federal resources will make a big difference in continuing to [help] people who are homeless. We want to be as strong as we can to provide those supports. We don’t approach these problems alone. Also, we are listening to the people who are in the shelters and working with other agencies to make sure we identify the needs, opportunities and additional resources that are needed.
RM: Have you ever felt overwhelmed with hopelessness about the issue of homelessness?
Horne: Every day, people are moving on to the
next step that works for them. Every day, there are terrible things that happen — someone becomes homeless or experiences a health crisis. The question is, where do you put your energy? We put our efforts toward where we can make a difference. If it gets heavy, there is always someone ready to help to carry the load.
RM: In a perfect world, what would Homeward be able to do?
Horne: We would be able to continue to enable partners to do their best work, and we would help to increase the stock of affordable housing for people with extremely low incomes. —Holly Rodriguez

elly King Horne sees herself as a problem solver who loves to work with people to make a difference. Serving as executive director for Homeward, the planning and coordinating organization for homeless services in the greater Richmond region, since 2007, Horne began her career of service with the Peace Corps, then worked for Habitat for Humanity in Eastern Europe and Northern Ireland. When she returned to the U.S., Horne says, she saw the problems of our country with new eyes. “I felt we didn’t have to do things the way we always have,” she says. “Homeward has always looked at things from that perspective — how to do things differently, and that was the attraction from the beginning.” In 2020, with the onset of the pandemic, Homeward had to quickly find a new way to deliver services as demand increased and traditional shelter programs needed to be retooled to comply with public health guidelines. We talked to Horne about the difficulties of the past year and the future goals of Homeward.

case must be refused as incurable.” In a description of the hospital, the Times-Dispatch said, “The Kellam Cancer Hospital offers quiet and sunlight to the occupants of the institution. Immaculate halls, up-to-date furnishings, attractively-arranged rooms, it is almost a rest resort in all outward appearances.” The first floor treated older patients; women stayed on the second floor and men on the third. Patients could rent an apartment “during their sojourn,” with a private bath and a sitting room fitted with white wicker furniture. Downstairs lounges were stocked with books, magazines and games. “Everywhere the system of modern improvements dominates,” the article gushed, reading like an advertisement. “The instruments and equipment for the dressing rooms are of the best, the medical fixtures are above reproach.” On Aug. 3, 1907, the social reformist Collier’s Weekly published another entry in an ongoing examination by Samuel Hopkins Adams of the national patent medicine craze and widespread medical malpractice. His earlier work had led to the passage of the U.S. Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. “Grief is the portion of the Kellam Cancer Hospital of Richmond, Virginia,” Adams declared. “It offers the invariable and hollow mockery of testimonials and endorsement, which, as has been repeatedly shown, can be wheedled, browbeaten or bribed out of the victims of any form of quackery.” In the Aug. 29 issue of the Baptist and Reflector news journal of Nashville, Tennessee, the publisher made a strenuous argument against Adams, touting the curing of Kellam patients using “a treatment of soothing oils and antiseptic bandaging. I have seen the work going on in the hospital, have talked with the patients under treatment, and can positively state that Mr. Adams is guilty of a shameful slander in speaking of that institution as a fake or a fraud.”
The Nashville writer asserted that professional jealousies by physicians led them to urge the Virginia General Assembly to end the Kellam practice: “The legislature saved the institution and on the ground that it was doing too much good to close it up.” Fred Kellam died at his residence of heart failure at age 78 on May 4, 1929; Eunice followed him at 76 on April 13, 1930, though she was at their hospital (heart disease and senility). The senior Kellam’s demise, and perhaps the Depression, ended the hospital.
Harry Kellam attempted to open the Restmore Convalescent Home in the building, but that didn’t last, either. He moved around, to Rose Hill in Southwest Virginia, to family in Kentucky and later West Virginia, where at age 81, he died after a fall, on March 14, 1960. He outlived his brothers, all of whom ended their days in Richmond. The Kellam building at one point became the Richmond Transient Service Bureau. This corner of West Main was later taken up by garages for Pepsi-Cola and today is primarily occupied by the Try-me Gallery. R

Keira D’Amato makes running fast look easy. At the Texas Qualifier in Austin, Texas, on Feb. 27, D’Amato immediately pulled out in front of the elite group of 15 runners in the women’s 10K Olympic Qualifier race, seemingly unfazed by the humid and windy conditions that had led more than half of the men’s 10K field to drop out of their race just before the women’s event. D’Amato ran alongside 24-year-old Konstanze Klosterhalfen of Germany for more than half the race until Klosterhalfen pulled away, eventually setting a new German national record of 31:01.71. Even though D’Amato placed second at 32:16.82, she qualified for the U.S. Olympic team trials in June in Eugene, Oregon. She still needs to reach the qualifying standard time of 31:25 for the women’s 10K to make an Olympic squad, but she’s one step closer to a goal that began two decades ago. “I was hoping for a better finish, but I’ll get ‘em next time,” D’Amato says. The 36-year-old wife, mother of two and full-time Realtor from Chesterfield — who ran as an amateur until January 2021, when she signed with Nike as one 84

of their sponsored athletes — is known in the running community as much for what she’s done as for what she didn’t do: run competitively for 10 years. As a track standout at Oakton High School in Fairfax County, and then at American University, D’Amato knew she wanted to compete in the Olympics. While most races were canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, D’Amato kept training. In November 2020, she ran a 5K time trial in 15:04 on a private track in Richmond. A video of her run has been viewed thousands of times, as it shows D’Amato — then an amateur — beating the Olympic qualifying standard time, even if not in a sanctioned race. On Nov. 24, 2020, D’Amato ran the Up Dawg Ten Miler in Washington, D.C., a race she created with her husband so she could shoot for a new American record in a women’s-only 10-mile race. She did just that, running 51:23 and easily eclipsing the existing record of 52:12 from the 2014 Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run. When that earlier record was set, D’Amato, as a race volunteer, held the
tape for the winning runner, Janet Bawcom. D’Amato wasn’t running competitively in 2014, and at that race, she was pregnant with her first child. D’A mato finished 2020 by placing second at the Marathon Project in Chandler, Arizona, with a time of 2:22:55, a personal best and the seventh-fastest time recorded by a U.S. woman. That time is actually below those posted by the three women who will run the marathon for the U.S. in Tokyo this summer; after the 2020 Olympics were postponed to 2021, USA Track and Field determined the marathon qualifiers would keep their team

Anthony and Keira D’Amato with their children, Quin and Tommy
Raczko, who coaches the track team at South Lakes High School in Reston, knows D’Amato from her high school days, when she was Keira Carlstrom. He followed her career at American, where he had run as well, and then he worked with her after college, when she was part of an elite team in the D.C. area. Raczko is known in the running world as the coach who guided U.S. Olympian Alan
Webb, who holds the American men’s record in the mile (3:46.91).
TRAINING TO WIN

them, getting the kids to private day care — suspended for three months during the pandemic — work and then family time in the evening, before bedtime at 10 p.m. “I train [almost exclusively] by myself; I don’t really have a social life,” D’Amato says. She runs daily, usually in the morning, logging more than 100 miles every week, from recovery runs of 10 to 14 miles to weekend runs of 14 to 22 miles. From her

In November 2020, D’Amato and her husband staged the Up Dawg Ten Miler in Washington, D.C., a race they created so she could try for a new American record in a women’s-only 10-mile race. She did just that, setting a new record of 51:23.
that she was on the cusp of a significant breakthrough,” he says, pointing to D’Amato’s then-personal-best marathon time of 2:34:54, logged in Berlin in October 2019. He says her dedication over the last three years shows. “Her training just continued to get better and better,” he notes. “Sometimes there is a delayed training effect. What you’re doing may not show up for six months, but eventually it will. Running is pretty simple; you usually know what’s going to happen … if the conditions are right. There are no guarantees.”
house, she has mapped routes of varying lengths, so she’s always prepared. When she’s gearing up for a race, additional workouts set by Raczko often start with a 2- to 3-mile run, followed by 6 to 7 additional miles with targeted split times. She also has exercises and drills designed to strengthen and support her running. Raczko says D’Amato is unique among elite runners. “She’s always been a talented athlete,” he says. “What’s changed the most is her level of maturity. When you’re a collegiate runner or an aspiring post-college professional, that’s your world; you’re obsessed with being successful. [But D’Amato’s] financial success isn’t determined by what she does on the track, so she’s much more relaxed. Her attitude is, ‘I love to do it, but I don’t necessarily need it.’ ” D’Amato agrees that the mental aspect is significant. “I have worked on that part arguably as much as the running,” she says. “Naturally, I’m a competitive person. I was born with this warped sense of self-confidence that anything is possible. Now that all these goals are back on the table, I don’t want to fail again, but I know if I do fail, I’ll be OK. Other elite athletes don’t 88

know what’s on the other side.” D’Amato also works with a nutritionist, a massage therapist and a chiropractor to help keep her body in tune. There are often two dinners in the house: one for the kids, and one for the adults, heavy on carbs and protein. “‘I see food as fuel and energy,” she says. “I’m really careful to make sure I’m getting enough of what I need to support this lifestyle.” At age 36, she’s on the upper edge of competitive women runners, but she’s not worried. “Especially in endurance sports, women in their mid- to late 30s are doing well,” she notes. “I’m not slowing down, and I’m not planning on slowing down. I’ve found the more you run, the more efficient you naturally get. Your body tries to figure out how to be faster.” Raczko wasn’t surprised by D’Amato’s success in 2020, noting that her workouts are designed to support both speed and strength, making her competitive in a range of distances. Typically, athletes who train with a focus on speed do better at shorter distances, while longer races require a different type of muscle strength and stamina. “There were signals [leading into 2020]
D’Amato is quick to credit a strong support system. “It’s Team D’Amato all the way,” she says. “I couldn’t do this without Anthony, our kids and our extended family. It really seriously takes a village.” D’Amato’s mother, Liane MacDowell, owns Stone Properties, the Northern Virginia real estate firm Keira joined in 2018, hoping to earn enough to cover the costs of running: shoes, entry fees, medical support and travel. MacDowell says her daughter’s energy on the track is evident in her professional life as well. “She is such a go-getter,” MacDowell says. “She brings the same passion, drive and will to win. “She’s always been upbeat,” MacDowell adds. “She’s so your average mom, just getting out there and running. But she’s hungrier than she’s ever been.” MacDowell and her husband, Art, will often come to Richmond to stay with the kids when Keira and Anthony travel to races. Anthony’s parents, Linda and Tom D’Amato, help plug the everyday gaps, picking up children or dropping off a meal. “I do whatever she asks me to do,” Linda says, noting she’ll often stay with the children while her husband drives D’Amato to Charlottesville for a run with her pacing partner. “We support her in any way we can,” she adds. “It’s been so much fun to see her do so well. She’s very competitive, very humble and a very giving person.”

3/18/21 2:25 PM
D’Amato is a member of the Richmond Road Runners club, and she tries to participate in as many events as she can. “They have made me feel so much a part of the running community,” she says. “People call encouragement out to me as I run!” Anthony will sometimes ride his bike alongside her, and she relies on two running partners, Sara Baugh and Silas Frantz, for companionship and challenge. Baugh, who met D’Amato at a Sports Backers Marathon Training Team run in 2017, notes the 7-minute to 7:20 per mile pace set by D’Amato requires her to keep up with her own training. “It’s not as comfortable for me as it is for Keira, but it’s certainly manageable,” Baugh says. “We talk about anything and everything; it’s the best two hours of the week. Sometimes, we get to the end of an 18-mile run and realize we haven’t finished our conversation.” For faster training runs, D’Amato goes to Charlottesville to meet with Frantz, a Douglas S. Freeman High School graduate who ran at Georgetown University and won the 2016 Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 5K. Frantz will set his watch to D’Amato’s target speed and run in front of her. “At Keira’s level, there are maybe 10 women in the world who could pace her workouts,” Frantz says. “She’s kind of a machine — she gets the job done every single day. She’s [also] really nice. It’s probably hard to stay nice when you’re super successful. Not all elite runners are like that.”
“I’ve been paying for everything out of pocket, working my butt off in real estate so [running expenses] didn’t take anything away from the family,” D’Amato says, estimating that her running costs from $10,000 to $15,000 a year. “I would keep doing this for free, but I think it’s really cool that Nike is going on this journey with me.” Nike expects her to be visible and “to run fast in their gear,” she says. D’Amato was already active on social media, posting regularly to Instagram (@keiradamato), and updating her Strava account — an app used by runners and cyclists — with routes and times. She’s a firm believer in the power of running. “I feel like anyone can be a runner, no matter their height, weight, body shape,”
D’Amato says. “I can understand why people say they hate it, because it takes some time to get into a routine and get comfortable with it. Even when I didn’t run for a decade, I still called myself a runner.” And she’s proud of what she’s accomplished thus far. “I felt like I was sticking it to the man a little, working without a professional sponsor,” she says. “I’ve showed you can do it your way; there’s not just one path up the mountain. I think everyone has something in their life where maybe they didn’t go all in — a woulda, coulda, shoulda thing. I think people are excited to see that I’ve cleared every single hurdle so I can pursue this passion. I hope it inspires them to do whatever that thing is for themselves.” R

‘DO IT YOUR WAY’
January 2021 brought another milestone: D’Amato signed a contract with Nike, making her a professional athlete for the first time in her life. The company covers her equipment, racing fees, travel and training costs — and she even gets a paycheck, though it’s not enough for her to stop selling real estate. It’s a big change. In December 2020, D’Amato placed second at the Marathon Project in Chandler, Arizona, with a time of 2:22:55, a personal best and the seventh-fastest time ever recorded by a U.S. woman.
