Commemorating 400 years Of Black History In Hampton, Virginia
Essence Magazine
There was African drumming, gospel music, healing rituals, poetry, speeches-along with prayers and tears-as thousands gathered in Hampton, Virginia to commemorate 400 years since slavery began in English North America.
"We wanted to create a pilgrimage for African Americans and all Americans," said Terry Brown, the first African American superintendent at Fort Monroe, a unit of the National Park Service. "We wanted people to learn about the heritage, struggles and triumphs of the first Africans who were brought to the shores of Point Comfort."
Fort Monroe, which president Barack Obama designated a national monument in 2011, bustled this weekend with visitors hailing from around the country and world. In lawn chairs under white tents, children and adults waved American and flags from African nations. Artisans such as Loretta Craig of Virginia sold beautiful handmade quilts. The sounds of African drums, gospel, and classical music filled the air. Many people were dressed in colorful African attire.

Ensure our community gets needed resources by participating in 2020 Census
It is very important that ALL residents in our community take part in the 2020 Census. The U.S. Census ensures that each community gets the right number of representatives in government. It also helps with the equitable distribution of public funds, such as federal and state funding for educational programs, healthcare, law enforcement and highways. The Census provides an important view on how our country is changing. To get the most accurate information, we need to make sure everyone in our community is counted where they reside and properly identifies demographic information. For more information on the 2020 Census, visit
2020census.gov.
We want you to participate in the 2020 Census and know how to identify Census officials in your neighborhoods. Watch a two-minute video describing the process and how to identify officials:

There are also still plenty of job and volunteer opportunities available for the 2020 Census. For more information, visit
2020census.gov/jobs.
