My family has recently donated Nat Turner’s Bible to the New African American Museum of History and Culture and I have served as a spokesperson for the family. Rev Turner was baptized on our family property Persons Millpond in Southampton County, Virginia back in 1828. Persons United Methodist Church, est 1838, is celebrating 181 years. We feel the Bible is a unifier and healer. Also, I have been involved in U of R’s Growing Up in Civil Rights Richmond Exhibit: A Community Remembers The times are changing and we learn from our past to make for a better tomorrow.
