Sometimes a story is best told by the person who knows it best. The description of the Williamsburg Bray School from William & Mary is no exception.

"Williamsburg's Bray School was established in 1760 by The Associates of Dr. Bray, an Anglican charity based in England, at the recommendation of Benjamin Franklin and with support from William & Mary’s president and rector of Bruton Parish Church, Reverend Thomas Dawson. During the School’s operation (1760-1774), its sole teacher, Ann Wager, educated almost 400 free and enslaved African American children."

Join us on Sunday, February 11th as we talk with Lead Genealogist, Elizabeth Drembus who will share what the Williamsburg Bray School Initiative is and how she is helping to uncover the stories of the enslaved, the free people of color, and their teacher.
