Virginia's Black Ancestral Legacy and Heritage 👑

The Tucker Family Cemetery 👑

 While visiting The Tucker Family Cemetery, the pleasure of speaking with Walter Jones was granted. Jones is a direct descendant of William Tucker, who is noted as the 1st enslaved Alkebulan/African child born in Hampton of the Virginia colony. By happenstance or coincidence, this moment was beyond incredible!

👑 James E. Fuller

 American Civil War Quartermaster, Brother's Keeper and Norfolk Virginia's 1st Black Councilman (1885) . Councilman Fuller is believed to have been born between 1844 and 1846. He served in several roles of leadership before passing away in 1909 . His persistence acquired a proper burial place for Black Union Civil War soldiers in the city of Norfolk, Virginia and more. Take a look and listen.

Nat Turner's Avenge 👑

Nat Turner's Avenge - August 21, 1831 (Jerusalem/Courtland) Southampton County, Virginia. 


"You have asked me to give you a history of the motives, which induced me to undertake the late insurrection, as you call it. To do so, I must go back to the days of my infancy, and even before I was born." Nat Turner.


The impact of Nat Turner's Avenge sparked conversations about emancipation decades before the American Civil War.  In honor Nat Turner's life and legacy, read more about his contributions in the Virginia Natives section of our Blog.

To Black Royalty 👑

A dedication to the Black Soldier(s) 🤎 

Thank you for your contributions to our culture and the world, Salute 🌍 

No War In American History has been fought WithOut The Black Soldier 💜 

It's a falsity to discuss Virginia History without acknowledging the Black people who built The United States of America with physical labor and mentally with their inventions that are still used today💚 

It's atrocious to discuss American History without acknowledging the Black ancestors and Soldiers who fought for their liberty against the systematic oppression in the institution of slavery 🖤 

It's asinine to not acknowledge the Black Soldiers who fought in All American Wars and those who serve today 💪🏿

#HamptonUniversity was founded in September of 1861, with #MarySmithPeake as the 1st teacher. Mrs. Peake taught free and enslaved Black people how to read and write, under an Oak Tree that still stands tall today and located slightly past the entrance of Hampton University 🌳
