The Devil’s Half Acre & Shockoe Bottom & African Burial Ground
Hear the voices! Proud Black voices. Listen.
African voices, yet to be identified American.
Hear the thoughts illumined by culture and spirit.
Listen.
Music that rises up from the ground itself.
Walk on the ground. Sacred ground. Call out their names.
Listen for the voices of our ancestors.

and Africa’s descendants unfold in this drama
that informs and empowers.

conditions of enslavement, resistance,
the Black Dispatches, United States Colored Troops, women in support,
the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment.
