In Virginia's Native Son, the election of L. Douglas Wilder in Virginia represents the first time an African-American was elected Governor in the history of the United States. The book hits on five main points of his election and administration, including an analysis of the campaign victory, the media's response to the campaign, the racism involved with the election and administration, the administration itself, and the legacy of the administration.
