An effort to bring recognition to the graves of enslaved Virginians was rejected Monday by a House subcommittee.

The measure, sponsored by Del. Robert G. Marshall, R-Prince William, would have created a commission to oversee the work of trying to identify and mark the graves of Virginians who were enslaved at the time of their deaths.

The Committee seemed to fear that recognizing the graves of Virginia’s slaves would cost too much.
