At Historic Sotterley’s Day of Unity and Healing, a new Middle Passage Marker was unveiled. The marker commemorates the lives of those impacted by the transatlantic slave trade, and in particular the enslaved who came directly to Sotterley aboard the Generous Jenny.
Archaeologists Aaron Levinthal and Sarah Janesko will share discoveries from the homes of the enslaved community that lived on the Jesuit’s Newtowne Plantation between the late 17th century through the mid-19th century.
