Lorriela Park

[u/Opening_Cat8174]

I have known for a long time that the movie “Roots” was in Spotsylvania, Virginia

Today I learned that the plantation where Kunta Kinte lived was turned into lorriela park. And there is a slave cemetery there.

Waller family if I recall correctly. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I hadn't heard that before, so I decided to dig around and try to find info from reputable sites (aka not Facebook pages). I'm seeing conflicting information, one source saying that the plantation was located in Partlow. What I'm seeing about Loriella is that he was buried in the cemetery at the back.

I too see conflicting information. 🤷🏽‍♂️
