*** NEW * NEW * NEW ***

I've been working on this for several weeks now, making sure that all the facts were vetted and no key documents got left out.

Finally, at long last, this piece is being offered in response to a very well-posed question by a concerned Richmond neighbor named Tarra who follows my new KUJICHAGULIA column on RVANews.

Read it for yourself. Let me know if you have questions of your own. They might be featured in future column updates.

Please like and share the page and this RVANews story as well. We have the power to get this right as long as we all work together.

Deuces...

Founder,

Why don’t we demand more from the Slave Trail Commission? Maat Free answers that question with some more questions.

We are collecting smooth river stones at the entrance of the tunnel in the VCU lot on 16th street. Please leave them on the ground there, to the right of the opening of the tunnel (on the paved side of the tunnel only, please).

We need HUNDREDS of them by next Thursday night for the Community Elevation Ceremony in association with the SELF DETERMINATION activities in Shockoe for Emancipation Day 2015. Please share this request with friends. All smooth palm-sized stones from wherever you might have found them all around the Metro Richmond area.

Each stone will be used for a collective commemorative space for those who endured the experience of enslavement and never had a proper memorial service by those who loved them. We give thanks for your willingness to contribute to this effort

Honoring the contributions of those that came before us is a cultural retention reaching all the way back to West Africa, before the interruption of enslavement.

This summer 2016, Untold RVA has resumed the construction of a community stone garden between the Sacred Trees at Richmond's African Burial Ground. This sacred stone garden, also known as the Untold RVA 11:11 Portal #8, will be complete by the end of July 2016.

The gathering of stones is a beautiful tradition that included entire families who would go to the river and feel around at the bottom for a special stone that the elders recognized as holding the essence of a newly departed loved one. They could tell the stone was special when it was held close to the head and the heart.

Many stones were examined but only one was utimately chosen. They knew when they'd found the right stone because it would feel just like a hug from a cherished family member on the other side of the veil.

What made these stones so special? It is because they carried the same kind of high vibration energy that is within the positive essence of a good hearted person, known today as The Beloved Unseen.

Stay tuned for an invitation to participate in dedicating the Ancestor's stone garden at 11:11 Portal #6.

We hope you'll join us. It will be a time for each family to choose stones and call out the name of their family's oldest Honored Ancestors which will help activate this deeply spiritual space.

You are welcome to come forward. This is our collective work and responsibility. Please visit www.untoldrva.com for upcoming details.

The Beloved Unseen is an Ancestral Remembrance project of Untold RVA's founder, Free Egunfemi.

The brightest future belongs to those who are able to harness the wisdom of the past.

This requires specific tools to reveal history's hidden treasure.

Everyone possesses the ability to extract fresh inspiration from within a seemingly outdated narrative.

Untold stories are the best-kept secret tool to unlock your own personal greatness.

Our goal is to encourage you along your journey.
