Join us August 22–29 at Fort Monroe as we remember the arrival of the first recorded Africans in English North America in 1619, honor their lives and legacy, celebrate the cultures and traditions carried forward through generations, and reflect on a story that continues to shape our nation.
Throughout the week, experience commemorative ceremonies, music, dance, drumming, conversations, family programs and special events that invite people of all ages to learn, reflect and participate.
