VIRTUAL PRESENTATION

Project Update | Virginia Untold: The African American Narrative
Wednesday, February 3, 2021 from 6:00 PM–7:00 PM
Online
Free, but registration required

Virginia Untold: The African American Narrative examines records in the
Library of Virginia’s collections for hidden histories and often overlooked
stories detailing the lives of free and enslaved Black and multiracial
individuals in the commonwealth prior to 1870. By connecting a patchwork of
historical government and private materials, stories of resilience and
determination against incredible legal and social obstacles can emerge.
Join local records program manager Greg Crawford and senior local records
archivist Vince Brooks for a project overview, digitization update, and
tips on using this free digital resource. They’ll also share advice on
using primary source documents from Virginia Untold
<https://www.virginiamemory.com/collections/aan/> in the classroom, in
keeping with the recommendations from the Governor’s Commission on African
American History Education in the Commonwealth. For more information,
