2019 marks 400 years since the first enslaved Africans arrived in the English New World. They were the beginning of the American institution of slavery … and we’re still dealing with the fallout today. Virginia is commemorating their arrival for the first time, and the attention has put a spotlight on how history is told — until now, through the eyes of oppressors.
