Va News: Telling the US Story of Slavery, UVA History

Next year Virginia will mark the 400th anniversaries of the beginnings of English-style legislatures and African slavery in Britain's American colonies.  And a report on slavery's role at the University of Virginia finds grave robbing was once common at black cemeteries.

Those have been among the most read stories over the past week at the Virginia Public Access Project's VA News link.
