The State of Virginia recognizes the 1619 landing of Africans at Point Comfort (present-day Hampton) as a complicated beginning. This collection of new essays reckons with this historical fact, with discussions of the impacts 400 years later.
Chapters cover different perspectives about the "20 and odd" who landed, offering insights into how enslavement continues to affect the lives of their descendants. The often overlooked experiences of women in enslavement are discussed.
Colita Nichols Fairfax is a professor, Honors College Senior Faculty Fellow, and inaugural Faculty Fellow with the Center for African American Public Policy at Norfolk State University. She was the co-chairman of the City of Hampton 2019 Commemorative Commission, and was a member of the State of Virginia’s American Evolution 2019 Commission’s African Arrival Committee. She is the current chairman of the State of Virginia’s Board of Historic Resources.
