Have a different intent and people take part of and embrace
00:16:53.096 --> 00:16:57.267
People take part of and embrace it and it becomes a powerful
00:16:57.400 --> 00:17:00.704

It's just an igniter and opening to more relevant deeper
00:17:08.678 --> 00:17:09.346
Opening to more relevant deeper conversations who we are as a

Conversations who we are as a people, how we stepped around
00:17:13.483 --> 00:17:14.084
People, how we stepped around and navigated oppression and
00:17:14.217 --> 00:17:16.753
And navigated oppression and restrictive laws and conditions
00:17:16.886 --> 00:17:17.520
Restrictive laws and conditions that didn't allow us embrace
00:17:17.654 --> 00:17:20.857
That didn't allow us embrace our humanity and didn't force
00:17:20.991 --> 00:17:21.591
Our humanity and didn't force other folks to see our human.
00:17:21.725 --> 00:17:24.461
Other folks to see our human. recently the bray school opened

Forefront now and making it a part of a narrative we all need

Part of a narrative we all need to embrace as a society and
00:17:48.084 --> 00:17:48.785

I've seen being excavated construction tents and a lot of
00:18:09.539 --> 00:18:10.140
Construction tents and a lot of fencing up.
00:18:10.273 --> 00:18:10.540
Fencing up. so here is the revelation of
00:18:10.674 --> 00:18:13.343
So here is the revelation of that fascinating that the
00:18:13.476 --> 00:18:13.977
That fascinating that the school operated what 1760 to
00:18:14.110 --> 00:18:15.912
School operated what 1760 to 1770 for 14 years and they
00:18:16.046 --> 00:18:18.548

Found three rosters or a list with up to 87 names of students
00:18:19.416 --> 00:18:21.718
With up to 87 names of students it's incredible.

It's incredible. >> it's incredible.
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:22.719
>> it's incredible. i did not know this and we're
00:18:22.852 --> 00:18:26.022
I did not know this and we're seeing video now that the
00:18:26.156 --> 00:18:26.656
Seeing video now that the school originally was on the
00:18:26.790 --> 00:18:29.392
School originally was on the campus of william and mary and
00:18:29.526 --> 00:18:30.126
Campus of william and mary and it stood there for years but it
00:18:30.260 --> 00:18:33.530
It stood there for years but it was moved in 2023 to its
00:18:33.663 --> 00:18:35.999
Was moved in 2023 to its current location at historic
00:18:36.132 --> 00:18:36.733
Current location at historic williamsburg.
00:18:36.866 --> 00:18:39.669
Williamsburg. it's just you know, a painful
00:18:39.803 --> 00:18:40.537
It's just you know, a painful but yet very important of
00:18:40.670 --> 00:18:43.673
But yet very important of history.
00:18:43.807 --> 00:18:44.007
History. i didn't even know about this
00:18:44.140 --> 00:18:44.774
I didn't even know about this history prior to this story so
00:18:44.908 --> 00:18:47.577
History prior to this story so i like what janice candidate
00:18:47.711 --> 00:18:48.311
I like what janice candidate the descendant one of two of
00:18:48.445 --> 00:18:51.081
The descendant one of two of the students of the school and
00:18:51.214 --> 00:18:51.848
The students of the school and she said this is an igniter you
00:18:51.981 --> 00:18:54.317
She said this is an igniter you know so that we can have deeper
00:18:54.451 --> 00:18:55.118
Know so that we can have deeper more meaningful conversations
00:18:55.251 --> 00:18:55.819
More meaningful conversations about the history even though
00:18:55.952 --> 00:18:58.388
About the history even though it's painful but it's
00:18:58.521 --> 00:18:58.955
It's painful but it's nonetheless still history that
00:18:59.089 --> 00:18:59.689
Nonetheless still history that we all need to know about and
00:18:59.823 --> 00:19:01.925
We all need to know about and someone else in the story said
00:19:02.058 --> 00:19:02.692
Someone else in the story said complicated and it's
00:19:02.826 --> 00:19:03.259
Complicated and it's complicated and being educated
00:19:03.393 --> 00:19:05.395
Complicated and being educated but for what purposes and and
00:19:05.528 --> 00:19:08.698
But for what purposes and and one of the signs that was shown
00:19:08.832 --> 00:19:09.466
One of the signs that was shown in the piece said and possibly
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:12.635
In the piece said and possibly learning to write so that
00:19:12.769 --> 00:19:13.303
Learning to write so that wasn't a guarantee according to
00:19:13.436 --> 00:19:14.037
Wasn't a guarantee according to dr. newby alexander from
00:19:14.170 --> 00:19:14.671
Dr. newby alexander from norfolk.
00:19:14.804 --> 00:19:16.873
Norfolk. she says they were not taught
00:19:17.006 --> 00:19:17.674
She says they were not taught to write because it was too
00:19:17.807 --> 00:19:18.475
To write because it was too risky.
00:19:18.608 --> 00:19:20.910
Risky. the students could go on
00:19:21.044 --> 00:19:21.578
The students could go on because if they knew how to
00:19:21.711 --> 00:19:22.312
Because if they knew how to write they could possibly forge
00:19:22.445 --> 00:19:24.748
Write they could possibly forge the signatures of their
00:19:24.881 --> 00:19:25.382
The signatures of their enslavers so they they were not
00:19:25.515 --> 00:19:28.518
Enslavers so they they were not specifically taught to write
00:19:28.651 --> 00:19:29.219
Specifically taught to write but definitely taught to read.
00:19:29.352 --> 00:19:31.821
