In this episode we discuss the life of Joseph Bridger the patron of the "Old Brick Church" and about the challenging decade of 1676-1686, a time of civil war in the Virginia Colony. How did these conflicts lead to the racist codes that would pour out of Jamestown and later Williamsburg? This period of our history is essential to understanding conflicts that continue to plague us almost 350 years later.
