Title: Mapping Virginia's Slave Dwellings: Preserving Black History with Street View
Writer: Ryan Ffrench
Director: Ryan Ffrench
Producer: Google Earth Outrach
Abstract: In the Virginia state record, only 1% of documented historical sites are categorized as having any African-American historical significance. It’s easy to visit historic sites from the era of slavery and forget the enslaved men, women and children who built and maintained these places. Using Street View, Virginia Humanities has been collecting panoramic imagery of slave dwellings across the state for everyone to see. They hope these images will add to a more inclusive history of Virginia and helps us remember that enslaved peoples were integral to our country’s founding.
