African-American slavery was central to Lynchburg’s economy before 1865, but its history is not taught in our schools or known by many of our residents. The nonprofit Silent Witnesses Inc. is identifying, marking, and providing education about slavery’s physical remnants and unmarked locations here. Board president David Neumeyer and vice president Ramona Battle will speak and present slides about the project’s history, work, and plans.
