Notes

The Let Freedom Ring Foundation is committed to uplifting Black history in Williamsburg. Washington Informer Denise Rolark Barnes interviewed Foundation President Connie Matthews Harshaw and Board Member Nathaniel (Nat) Brown on WIN-TV’s digital program “Let’s Talk.” They discussed that the first slaves landed in Virginia in 1619. For 150 years after that important year,  African Americans worked, lived, and worshiped in the Williamsburg area.
