The culture of the first known Africans in Virginia, from the kingdom of Ndongo in Angola, and the experience of Africans in 17th-century Virginia is a focus of interpretive programs throughout the month of February at Jamestown Settlement, a history museum operated by the state's Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation.
The theme "From Africa to Virginia" is reflected in a printed family guide of the museum's expansive gallery exhibits and in guided tours of three outdoor living-history areas.

Take a look at how history is written and reevaluated as new methods of study are introduced. Using the example of Jamestown in 1607, explore the myths and misconceptions of that era. Colonial Williamsburg's Electronic Field Trips are interactive history lessons, presented as live television and Internet events, and broadcast via satellite to schools around the nation. This dramatic and compelling learning experience enhances history and social studies curricula while supporting national and state Standards of Learning. The program takes place at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., EST, in the Bruton Heights School Lane Auditorium, and is free and open to the public. Colonial Williamsburg's award-winning programs also are available nationally on many PBS stations.
