About the event

Resiliency: The Unbreakable Spirit of Survival
Come to Fort Monroe at Old Point Comfort on Saturday, August 23rd for African Landing Day hosted by Project 1619 Inc. and William Tucker 1624 Society. During this day of commemoration and reflection join us for an hour-long guided tour

Resiliency: The Unbreakable Spirit of Survival

This tour is about artisans, blacksmiths and textile weavers, farmers and hunters, the people of the Kingdom of Ndongo had a rich culture and exceptional skills. Their lives were upended as they were kidnapped—forced into the Portuguese slave trade. They endured the Middle Passage, survived an attack in the Gulf of Mexico by English privateers, and then dozens were brought enslaved to Point Comfort in 1619. Together we will explore how they endured unfathomable challenges, yet persevered nonetheless. Their resiliency ensured their survival and that of the Virginia colony.

Starts at the Visitor & Education Center at 1pm
