In this video, Ms. Mary Lassiter, Mr. Curtis Lassiter, and Mrs. Christine James describe the displacement of the Lee family from the land commandeered by the U.S. government in 1918 to build the Naval Weapons Station in York County, Virginia. Colloquially known as the Reservation, this land was home to a number of Black families who purchased or rented the land after emancipation. The Lees and others resettled in the Penniman area. They honored their former livelihoods by teaching their children how to farm, fish, crab, and harvest oysters. They discuss their relatives who were born on the Reservation and their contributions to the local community.
