Marquis de Lafayette was a French aristocrat and military officer who played a significant role in both the American and French revolutions. In the American Revolutionary War, he joined the Continental Army as a major general. He formed a close relationship with George Washington and considered him a father figure.

He also spent a great amount of time in Portsmouth, Virginia. But why was he there? And what was his relationship with James Fayette, Frederick Douglass, and the enslaved people in Portsmouth?

AV on Health: Doctor Shortage
Next year there will be 150,000 fewer doctors nationwide, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. The estimate is based on three reasons relative to medical care needs - we're getting older and need more medical care; more people have access to health insurance so the demand is higher; and doctors are getting older and retiring. Hampton Roads is not immune to this shortage. We take closer look at the doctor shortage issue and what can turn things around with our guests Dr. Armistead Williams, Dr. Elias Zerhouni, healthcare financial expert Bruce Holbrook, and Another View co-host, cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby.
