RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — The Virginia Museum of History and Culture (VMHC) is unveiling a new exhibit called “Un/Bound: Free Virginians, 1619-1865,” which tells the stories of free Black Virginians from the arrival of the first captive Africans to the abolition of slavery.

Curators said it’s one of the first museum exhibitions to cover this subject in depth.
