I had no idea that the deciding factor for the location of UVa was based upon a proximity to a white population. This shows that there was no consideration on part of the founders that the black population would ever be included as University students. I added a link to the US Racial Dot Map, which shows one dot for every citizen on an interactive map, based on the census. If you look at it, UVa is near to a fairly prominent black community. Perhaps the university is no longer in the "central white population."
