The Repairers of the Breach wishes to express its thanks for the
pilgrims who participated in the Walking Towards Truth Pilgrimage that
occurred on March 6 & 7. The group spent two days visiting sites of
memory related to the arrival of the first enslaved Africans in Hampton
and Jamestown and had deep opportunities for education, discussion,
reflection and worship. Special thanks to Terry Brown - Superintendent
of Ft. Monroe National Monument, the Tucker Family, Mark Summers
-Jamestown Historian, Valarie Holmes - Angela Interpreter, Hampton
History Museum staff, Barbara Hamm Lee - panel moderator and panel
members Linda Rowe, Rev. Samantha Vincent-Alexander, Rev. Les Ferguson

Foster, Rev. Bob and Chris Randall and Bishop Haynes for enriching our
worship experiences. Thanks one and all for an informative and powerful
experience!
