"It's not entirely clear how Richmond became "The City of Pride and Purpose." Vice Mayor John Marquez said a committee appointed by the mayor developed the motto in the late 1980s. Councilman Tom Butt said he has heard other accounts. The genesis of the city logo, which is a bird or an arrow depending on whom you ask, also is unclear." (visit link)

There's been talks about changing the motto to something more newer. One idea would be"We Can Do It, Again. Si Se Puede, Otra Vez."
