Virginia History - July 20 - Elizabeth Key Grinstead Won Her Freedom

Update: 2021-07-26

Description

This week in 1656... Slavery started in the Virginia Colony in 1619. Over the next decades, the question of WHO exactly was considered a slave was in flux. Was slavery determined by social status? Religion? Or by race?

Enter Elizabeth Key, the first enslaved woman in the colonies to sue for her freedom.
