This community will set the stage for the second annual 1619Fest Orlando, a two-day event packed with free and ticketed activities to celebrate the African American history and legacy born in Jamestown, Virginia. “The great thing is when the information is coming directly from the Black community and being imparted onto other Black people, rather than others curating our narrative,” Chandler said. “Movement is a way for people to feel the healing and the wellness,” Fadyeyola said.
