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.

This tour provided detailed information on the Black experience as slaves during this era and the tour should be included with the standard Colonial tour. Our tour guide was amazing and passionate about the history lesson he was providing and we really enjoyed the tour.

Some of the information provided, I'd never heard before and I've studied black history. Our guide, Vince, did an excellent job! I think more people would participate if it weren't so expensive. I don't know if it was the coolest part of the day in Williamsburg (I don't think so), but though Vince tried to keep us in the shade, it was quite warm. One o'clock may not be the best time. All that being said, I have recommended it to my family.

It was a cousins vacation here to Williamsburg and as it turned out it was only the four of us on the tour, so it felt like a private tour. Vince was our tour guide. He was excellent, very knowledgeable and passionate in sharing the history and events of the African American life experience during a time period in American history that was extremely difficult for Black people. If you are planning a visit to Williamsburg in the future, definitely put this tour on your list of things to do. It was a great learning experience.
