During 2020 and 2021, E. H. "Beth" Sutton interviewed local residents whose family roots run deep in our area.  These residents have lived and worked in Albemarle County during good times and during difficult periods of racial tension during the 20th century. Their comments provide a personal perspective on national events that are part of our shared heritage and history.
 

Conversations with other local residents are ongoing, and will be collected for future generations. Look for more as our discovery continues, and if you have any thoughts or stories to add please do not hesitate to contact us.
