The idea first came to then-Virginia Governor L. Douglas Wilder in 1992 as he stood before the Door of No Return on Gorée Island, off the coast of Senegal, from which countless Africans were sent in shackles for enslavement in America.

For the past 13 years he has been trying to transform his $200 million dream into a concrete-and-glass reality."
