Wholesale The Black Belt of Virginia

Witness the unique and often-overlooked history and contributions of Black people in the commonwealth.

Learn about the little-known history of a Black woman spy disguised covertly as an enslaved woman working in Confederate President Jefferson Davis’s home. Navigate the significant network of free Black communities during slavery through essays collected for an exciting narrative of important historical issues, such as detailing more than seventy Black communities displaced in Virginia, a church’s legacy through 135 years, and the significance of the land the author’s mother gifted him. Author Jeffrey Bennett details this poignant history. Paperback | 6 x 9 | 128 pages
