Good morning,
Troy Valos's post inspired me to share this Black History Month Hidden History series story from WSLS news in Roanoke about industrial slavery at Buffalo Forge, in Rockbridge County, Virginia, and the descendants of the enslaved and enslavers. Some current and former LVA staff may see a familiar face.
