We Shall Overcome: A Williamsburg Black History Experience

Aperçu
Come on to our history of black Americans tour presented by Junket!

We often learn the history and stories of heroes of the American Revolution and the early history of America. What isn't often covered in history classes and history books is the story of African Americans who were enslaved during this time. On this unique tour, we'll discover the stories of African Americans who lived and worked in Colonial Williamsburg. From the slaves buried in the graveyard of the Historic First Baptist Church, to the woman who left property to her freed black servants, you'll uncover the untold stories of the oppressed, and their path to freedom.

This Tour of the History of Slavery in Williamsburg was one of many events that my husband and I participated in this past weekend. We celebrated his birthday all weekend, however, the most impactful part of our celebration was this history of slavery tour. As a Black Couple, the devastation our ancestors experienced as slaves, reach us to the core in every way. But we wanted to know more about Slavery in Williamsburg. The tour however was an excellent experience, with Vincent, our Tour Guide. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable and well versed in the details and people that will never be detailed in history books. Vincent was personable, extremely knowledgeable, sensitive and comfortable as our guide to tour this aspect of Williamsburg . We were not disappointed, 5 Stars for our experience!
