David Napier, owner of The Old City Bar in Richmond’s former slave-trading district, is president of the Shockoe Bottom Neighborhood Association, is photographed in his bar in Richmond, Va., Wednesday April 3, 2014.

Napier says the development can enhance the city’s oldest neighborhood and also pay homage to the hundreds of thousands of slaves that were traded in the streets of the Bottom in the decades leading to the Civil War.
