In the Beginning… Virginia, Along the Trail of Enslaved Africans
Saturday, October 14, 12P-4P
Elegba Folklore Society Cultural Center

Journey into Richmond’s history to visit the sites where few monuments exist. In this interactive experience along the Trail of Enslaved Africans, ponder the impact of enslavement on the enslaved as shared in their own words and from their own view.  Led by Elegba Folklore Society’s cultural history interpreters, participants will walk in our ancestors’ footsteps from their arrival point at river’s edge into Shockoe Bottom, the area of Richmond that housed the holding pens, jails, blocks and burial ground.  Let’s immerse ourselves —  in past occurrences that impact our perspectives today.
