Freedom: The Pressing of Dunmore's Proclamation - Hands on Education Program

250th Anniversary of Lord Dunmore’s Virginia Campaign

Freedom ! ! !
The Pressing of Dunmore’s Proclamation

Freedom Lost, Freedom Gained

Lord Dunmore has silenced all dissent. He has seized the printing press in Hampton and has used it to print his proclamation offering freedom to any slave or servant of the rebels that would join the British forces. Freedom lost and freedom gained. Join us as we peer into the origins of the Virginia Bill of Rights and
explore our shared colonial history.
