Come on to our history of black Americans tour presented by Junket! We often learn the history and stories of heroes of the American Revolution and the early history of America. What isn't often covered in history classes and history books is the story of African Americans who were enslaved during this time. On this unique tour, we'll discover the stories of African Americans who lived and worked in Colonial Williamsburg. From the slaves buried in the graveyard of the Historic First Baptist Church, to the woman who left property to her freed black servants, you'll uncover the untold stories of the oppressed, and their path to freedom.

My husband and thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was full of informative historical accounts. A must book, for sure!

This event should have been hosted by an African American. The narrator was not sensitive to the the walking speed of the group. He seemed like he wanted to get on to his next event. He would talk while walking forward and not turn to talk to the group. it was difficult to hear to hear him in between the stations where we stopped. We left the group early and had not done that on the other tours.
