In this conversation we speak with Dr. Alfred Taylor, author of "Bridge Builders of Nauck/Green Valley: Past and Present” which details the stories of over 100 Arlingtonians,  Scott Taylor, president of the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington, which celebrates the African American Journey to Freedom, focusing on Arlington’s Freedman’s Village, Wilma Jones Killgo, a fourth-generation resident of the Halls Hill community in Arlington, and author of the book, "My Halls Hill Family: More Than a Neighborhood", and Councilman John Chapman, a fourth generation Alexandrian and founder of Manumission Tour Company LLC. These dynamic leaders share their thoughts about local black history and why it's so important. How much local history do you know, and what impact has it had on how you see your community? Enjoy the conversation, and I challenge you to learn even more about, and support -  your local Black history.
