The Enslaved Community at James Madison's Montpelier
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лют 2023
- James Madison's Montpelier Plantation was the home to as many as six generations of African Americans -- over 300 individuals -- held as property by the Madison family. These people labored every single day to create and sustain the wealth and privilege enjoyed by the Madison's. Each enslaved person at Montpelier was a unique human being with his or her own talents, flaws, hopes, and fears.
Join the @BobbleheadGeorge as we honor the lives and legacies of the generations of enslaved workers who lived and labored at Montpelier.
