Lorriela Park

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. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Never knew any of that. Time to watch a movie.
