Article about the evolution of Colonial Williamsburg fro A white toast tourist trap to a multi-colored ethnic meal.
Analysis: Cathy had told me the web site was shutdown and I wanted to find out both who shut it down and why?
I was unable to resolve that but it looks like Williamsburg has evolved driven by culture and finances.
This year that got involved with the Bray School which was a the first Colonial School for Blacks to teaching black children to read the Bible so they would no their place. It did not work out. In 1831 the State of Virginia passed a law that made it illegal to teach slaves to read.
I find this interesting from two perspectives
- People thought reading, particularly reading the Bible, would convince them they were born to be slaves.
- Southerners fully understand education, indeed any power in slaves, was dangerous.
