The League is commemorating Black History Month with a trip to historic Fort Monroe. Fort Monroe was proclaimed a national monument by President Obama on November 1st. The first African American slaves landed at Fort Monroe in the 1600s. It also was the site of the end of slavery, when General Butler declared the runaway slaves contraband, thus giving them freedom. Mark your calendar for Saturday, February 25th. A bus is being chartered transport us! More details to follow.
