This is such an informative well researched tour. It covers the story of a young man’s ancestors back to the Port Royal Experiment. Darius Brown is our current hero who at the age of 22 is trying to reclaim the history of his ancestors during the emancipation era. He states that he is not solely interested in monetary reparations, but to honorably validate the history of his ancestors. I highly recommend this tour. We learned so much. We went on a Sunday when most things were closed, so I recommend you do a tour Tuesday through Saturday. Nevertheless, we loved this tour.
