Help me out.  I think this may have been discussed, but were there  African 
American slaves in Jamestown in any appreciable number and treatment to  
separate them from other servants?

Depending on the content and format of the celebrations, I can  certainly see 
how the institution of slavery in Virginia would not be  something an African 
American would have reason to celebrate.
The Queen  of England was invited. Were African heads of state invited, or is 
this  just a celebration of the success the English had in colonizing  
America?
