This docuseries pieces together oral histories, forgotten documents, and long-overlooked evidence to tell the full story of Kingville’s educational legacy. Through maps, receipts, land deeds, interviews, and lived testimony, we uncover how Albemarle’s Black community built, protected, and preserved its own schools long before integration.
This series documents the true history of the Kingville community through the voices of those who lived it and the records that prove it. Each episode builds on the last, revealing how our first Black school system was created, challenged, erased in parts, and rebuilt through memory and evidence.
