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.

Tour guide never showed. Phone call to business was futile and unproductive. Requested refund. No response or explanation. No refund. I will be reporting this agency to the BBB.

We had a semi-private tour as it was only two of us. The experience was not only educational but also enlightening to the significance of African Americans to the history of Williamsburg.

The most memorable part of this tour was hearing about the Black experience of love, of hope, of ambition, of success and not the just the usual dehumanizing slave tales. We were people with names and feelings and emotions and mental fortitude and perseverance. Kudos to the developers of this tour for focusing on the human existence of enslaved persons.
