This traveling exhibit explores the lives of free Black Virginians from the arrival of the first captive Africans in 1619 to the abolition of slavery in 1865. Through powerful objects and first-person accounts, visitors will discover how Virginia’s people of color achieved their freedom and persevered within a legal system that recognized them as free but not equal. This exhibit will have some American Revolution content.
Un/Bound: Free Black Virginians, 1619-1865 is organized by the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.
