Virtual Black Arlington History
Tour
THE EXPERIENCE
History This Powerful Doesn't Need a Passport
The ABHE Virtual History Tour brings the full power of Wilma Jones's primary-source storytelling to any screen, anywhere. Live and interactive, each session moves through the key chapters of Black Arlington's history — from Green Valley to Freedman's Village to the self-sufficient communities of Halls Hill, the fight for education, the desegregation story, and the legacy that endures today.
Archival photographs, documents, and oral histories are shared visually throughout. This is not a slideshow. It is a live performance by one of the most compelling historians working in the DC region today.
The virtual format is purpose-built for organizations that want a premium, culturally meaningful experience without the logistics of in-person programming. It is equally powerful for a senior living community in Virginia and a corporate ERG team distributed across twelve time zones.

Wilma Jones
Historian | Author | Fourth Generation Halls Hill Resident
Wilma Jones has spent more than 20 years documenting 400+ stories of Black Arlington history spanning nearly 300 years — drawing from the Arlington Center for Local History, the Library of Virginia, and her own family's archive.
Her brother Michael is one of the Stratford Four. Her family has lived on this hill for four generations. She is not a guide who studied this history. She was raised into this history.
Author of My Halls Hill Family: More Than a Neighborhood. NPR-featured community leader. Award-winning civic activist. The most compelling storyteller you'll meet in the DC region.
