We Shall Overcome: A Williamsburg Black History Experience

Przegląd
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.

Vince was a fantastic tour guide, and provided excellent information about black experiences in Williamsburg. Everyone will enjoy learning this rich history that sadly isn’t taught in Virginia history class. It was an extremely hot and humid day, and Vince made sure we were able to procure water, if needed. Also, Vince actually listened to our questions, and provided clear and concise answers. Bravo Vince for a wonderful tour.

I am elated that I signed up for this tour. It was truly amazing to experience the black culture of Williamsburg history; we refused to leave our vacation without such an experience. Many thanks to our knowledgeable tour guide who provided an engaging historical experience. One suggestion is to remind participants that it is a walking tour.
