In the Beginning ... Virginia Tour
Elegba Folklore Society presents this interpretive tour of unmarked sites in Richmond's history. Elegba may well be the ultimate Afrocentric Richmond cultural event. With all of their festival and community contacts, if they don’t know where it is, you won’t be able to find it. Tourists board a bus to visit sites where monuments do not exist. These sites tell the other story not listed in common history books. Tour leader techniques include call-and-response, vocal and instrumental music, narrative presentations and dialogue. Participants can immerse themselves in past occurrences that impact our perspectives today
