1619: The Making of America

The year was 1619 - a pivotal year in the colony of Virginia - and it had something to do with race, gender and government! These three major events meant critical changes for Virginia - because of them the colony transformed from a small settlement of white men, to one that contained black and white families, who, along with Native Americans, would create America. It's a fascinating subject, and on the next Another View we'll talk with historians Linda Heywood and John Thornton of Boston University, and Cassandra Newby-Alexander of Norfolk State University about these events so critical to the making of America. It's a history lesson you won't want to miss on the next Another View, Friday, September 21 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us at whrv.org.
