Ok
In August of 1619, a ship
appeared on this horizon, near
Point Comfort, a coastal port in
the English colony of Virginia. It
carried more than 20 enslaved
Africans, who were sold to the
colonists. No aspect of the
country that would be formed
here has been untouched by the
years of slavery that followed. On
the 400th anniversary of this
fateful moment, it is finally time
to tell our story truthfully.
