Free Presentation: Invisible History Walking Tour
May 28 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Come to this presentation about The Invisible History Walking Tour of African American Historical Sites. The tour will tell the story of the African American community in Cape Charles so that those who lived here will be remembered and their accomplishments acknowledged. Examining this past and bringing to light this historical invisibility will create awareness of the contributions of African Americans to the town’s development and progress. Their descendants will benefit from knowing about this community of educators, doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, artists, spiritual, and community leaders, authors, and much more, who paved the way for their success. Making this history available to the public will contribute to the expansion of knowledge about Cape Charles and set a precedent for future historical accounts to include the African American community in its narrative. The tour will be a catalyst for discussion that should foster a better understanding of cultural differences and similarities and will contribute to the realization of a society that fulfills the promise of the nation’s founding, a society of equals in every aspect of human endeavor.
