Vienna Demographics After 53 Years of Robinson Control Comments (21)
Perhaps no one cares, but...
9.51% - African-American population in Herndon
9.20% - African-American population in Leesburg
8.83% - African-American population in Fairfax County
6.89% - African-American population in Loudon County
5.07% - African-American population in Fairfax City
3.44% - African-American population in Vienna
Said another way, 85,628 African-Americans live in Fairfax County and 497 African-Americans live in Vienna. Four hundred ninety seven. How did Vienna get this way?
“You know I always get a little edgy when I hear the word ‘HUD' mentioned.”
-- Maud Robinson"The politicians can then say to the blacks and union members "hey, don't look at me", while it's wink wink to the gays."

Maud's Election Day Campaigner & Mayor's Son“And it defied comprehension how anyone could say that we have not tried beyond trying to make the lives of black people in particular better since the mid-fifties, with the trend accelerating greating [sic] from 1964 on. Trillions of dollars, program after program, quota after quota (excuse me, "diversity")."

Maud's Election Day Campaigner & Mayor's Son
Tom, no worries. You and the rest of the Vienna political establishment made sure that "diversity" is a four letter word in Vienna. We have a funny feeling that when census data is pulled for the last 50 years of Mother Maud's reign that there will be a year after year precipitous drop in the African-American population of Vienna.

"Little Town in Virginia: It Started in Vienna" by Henry Minor Comments (4)
Henry Minor has written the only first hand account of Vienna's history from the 1930s until 2000 (mostly up through the late 60s). Little Town in Virginia: It Started in Vienna (written in 2001!) primarily places the reader during the time when segregation was in full effect. This book was brought to our attention & recommended by students at The University of Virginia.
This is the kind of history (read: non-white) that Maud Robinson and Laine Hyde don't want you to read. For example, today an attempt was made to document with pictures the books carried in the Town of Vienna's Freeman Store. We were curious if they carry Henry Minor's book. A woman behind the counter at the Freeman Store (which is owned by the Town of Vienna) ordered "no pictures". She called the Police to enforce her order. Will the Town of Vienna do anything to uphold their fake history?
As we understand it the Town of Vienna has the authority to subjectively decide who takes pictures in the Freeman Store. Vienna citizens are not allowed to walk in this Town owned "museum" and take pictures without prior approval of the government (or Laine Hyde). Welcome to Vienna history communist style! Doubt us? Go try taking some pictures yourself and see how fast they call the Police.
Don't expect to find this book at Vienna's phony Freeman Store!

Faulkners: A Piece of Vienna's History Comments (7)
Before it was the Vienna Inn, it was Faulkners. Given that Maud holds herself out as all that is historic, we wonder if she would care to comment on Faulkners segregated history? Maud did you ever have a drink there when it was divided down the "white" and "colored" line? Come on Mother Maud, cat got your tongue when it comes to your place in Vienna history?
And Maud (or Laine as she knows Vienna history too), was the Freeman Store ever segregated? Or was your beloved non-historical "store" simply off limits to African-Americans?
