From Calabar to Carter's Grove: The History of a Virginia Slave Community (Colonial Williamsburg Studies in Chesapeake History and Culture Series)
"Good morning," she began. "Welcome to Carter's Grove and to the Slave Quarter. The sight was chilling. I glanced around at the all-white crowd around me, curious about their perceptions of slavery and the buildings before us. Interpreter Sylvia Tabb-Lee put us at ease.
She said,"... that 2% of the population lived as well as the people in the mansion. "If you happen to be two percent of the population then you can look back and say what a romantic period. But if you happen to be everybody else, welcome home. Because the average person lived in a 15-by-15-foot house with a dirt floor just like these."
When Sylvia finished her 10-minute presentation, I introduced myself to her and the other interpreters and walked along the oyster shell encrusted pathway to look inside the first cabin.
Later we shared our thoughts over a breakfast of hominy, fried potatoes and onions, and scrambled eggs that Emily, Rose, and Sylvia had prepared.
A year following my introduction to the Slave Quarter, I found myself back there dressed in costume in 100-degree weather, crowded around Sylvia and other interpreters.
