Lonnie illuminated the history of slavery in the context of Williamsburg with deftness and sensitvity. Along with the Patriots tour, it provided a broader understanding of Colonial life and times.

Very informative! Lonnie was very knowledgeable and engaging. I remember coming to Williamsburg as a child. Slavery wasn’t talked about back then. Lonnie filled in the gap!
