A state historial marker outlining the history of the “First Africans in Virginia” stands near the seawall at the Fort Monroe National Historic Site. The area was known as Point Comfort in 1619 when the “20 and odd Negroes,” captured by the Portugese in Africa and then stolen by pirates on the English ship White Lion, were traded in Virginia for food and provisions.

Rain couldn’t stop the music last weekend at the Norfolk Waterfront Jazz Festival. The 37th annual two-day event, hosted by Norfolk FestEvents, was moved indoors from Town Point Park on Norfolk’s downtown waterfront to the Norfolk Scope because of inclement weather. A dry and appreciative crowd of thousands packed the venue both last Friday and Saturday and enjoyed the music by top acts. In this photo, drummer and singer Sheila E shows off her chops Friday night. (photo by Randy Singleton)

A line of people marches along a portion of the Richmond Slave Trail beside the James River on their way from the Old Manchester docks to Downtown. The walk on Aug. 20 was led by Janine Y. Bell of the Elegba Folklore Society and was symbolic of the many slave coffles in Richmond, which was one of the largest markets for the sale of enslaved people before the end of the Civil War. The walk was one element of the three-day Black Lives Global Summit that the Connecticut-based Community Healing Network sponsored. The summit, held largely at Virginia Union University in concert with other events related to the 400th anniversary of the forced arrival of the first Africans in English North America, focused on providing emotional and psychological healing from the lingering impact of slavery and included a range of speakers focusing on the past, present and future for people of African descent.
