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.

The guide named Vincent was kind and informative. He added tidbits that were interesting and he kept our attention. Quite a few little known facts. We noticed that passersby often tried to listen in on our tour! It was time well spent. 🙂
