The Getting Word African American Oral History Project, Revisited


  • Monticello 931 Thomas Jefferson Parkway Charlottesville, VA, 22902 United States (map)

As the Getting Word African American Oral History Project approaches its 28th anniversary, a new generation of descendants is rising. Active in education, the arts, politics, and in their communities, they share an ambition: racial and social justice. Join us for a virtual conversation with three descendants of Monticello’s enslaved community: historian Andrew M. Davenport, artist Jabari C. Jefferson, and activist Myra Anderson as part of Monticello’s annual Black History Month programming HERE.
