Kiptopeke Students Help Select New Historical Markers - Eastern Shore Post

A Kiptopeke Elementary School educator and two of her former students participated in an online event with Gov. Ralph Northam Oct. 29 as he announced 10 new historical highway markers that will honor Black Americans who made history in Virginia.

Keaney researched how to get a new historical marker installed by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, but it would cost nearly $2,000 and would need to be approved by Farmville officials.

That led to a classroom discussion about “how money and power influence whose story gets told,” Keaney said.

She later learned about the Virginia Black history contest started last February by Chief Diversity Officer Janice Underwood. Her students nominated 16-year-old Barbara Johns, who led her peers on a strike in 1951 for equal education at their high school in Farmville.

The 10 Black Virginians whose stories will be told on the new historical markers, and the future location of each marker, are:

Angela (a slave with no last name), Jamestown

Evelyn Butts, Norfolk

William H. Carney, Norfolk

Barbara Johns, Farmville

Katherine Johnson, Hampton

Ona Judge, Mount Vernon

Gowan Pamphlet, Williamsburg

Maggie Lena Walker, Richmond

Wyatt T. Walker, Chester/Petersburg

Camilla Ella Williams, Danville

📚🎨 #ArtIsAWeapon #WomansHistoryMonth #OnaJudge #NowReading "Never Caught: The Washingtons' Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge" by #EricaArmstrongDunbar. www.ericaarmstrongdunbar.com. • "A startling and eye-opening look into America’s First Family, Never Caught is the powerful narrative of Ona Judge, George and Martha Washington’s runaway slave who risked it all to escape the nation’s capital and reach freedom. When George Washington was elected president, he reluctantly left behind his beloved Mount Vernon to serve in New York and then Philadelphia, the temporary seat of the nation’s capital. In setting up his household he took Tobias Lear, his celebrated secretary, and nine slaves, including Ona Judge, about which little has been written. As he grew accustomed to Northern ways, there was one change he couldn’t get his arms around: Pennsylvania law required enslaved people be set free after six months of residency in the state. Rather than comply, Washington decided to circumvent the law. Every six months he sent the slaves back down south or out of the state, just as the clock was about to expire... At just twenty-two-years-old, Ona became the subject of an intense manhunt led by George Washington, who used his political and personal contacts to recapture his property." • • I hope Judge's remarkable story as told by Armstrong Dunbar is adapted into a #featurefilm or #documentary. (I have seen this silly, six-minute @drunkhistory episode: https://youtu.be/bqzUI1ihfpk .) • • (Slide ⬅️) #Illustration of Oney "Ona" Judge by Adriana Bellet aka @JeezVanilla for @broadly/@vice - www.vice.com/en_us/article/bj5nj5/oney-judge-escaped-enslavement-by-george-washington • • #OnaJudge #OneyJudge #GeorgeAndMarthaWashington #GeorgeWashington #FirstUSPresidentOwnedEnslavedBlackPeople #BlackHistory365 #AmericanHistory #Freedom #BlackWomen #BlackScholars #BlackWriters #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon https://www.instagram.com/p/B9M3stsAXeP/?igshid=5k6nfc20dve
