Slavery in Virginia Pilgrimage - Cancelled

We will follow several different narratives of enslaved peoples in Virginia, examining what their lives might have looked like. We will follow the story of urban slaves in Alexandria, Sally Hemings, and thousands who would have passed through the port of Richmond.  We will visit sites in Alexandria, Richmond, Charlottesville, and the Corhaven Graveyard.
