Join us for a tour of Downtown Charlottesville exploring the stories of free Blacks during the era of slavery. Learn about the evolving nature of racial oppression, the rare times when the strict social hierarchy was not so strict, and those fascinating individuals who were able to exploit the cracks in the systems.
