The Lies We Were Taught: The Black Family

October 2, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Sankofa Tour Guide: Daniel Comly

At the turn of the 19th century, Black abolitionists are changing public attitudes about slavery and challenging racial bias in the courts. In Portsmouth, never enslaved and newly freed Black adults share households with still enslaved children and elders. It is a time of possibilities, hope, and tension. True stories about these families will describe how a community of African refugees were claiming their place as Americans.
