This past Sunday, December 13th, I had the pleasure of attending the premier of the new movie Road Trip to History – African Americans of Jefferson County, West Virginia. The movie was presented at Wright Denny Intermediate School in Charles Town. The event was sponsored by the Jefferson County Black History Preservation Society. Both the Society and the movie presented a convincing case that there is more black history associated with Jefferson County than anywhere else in the nation. The movie is a great achievement and is something that we can all be proud of. It was produced by Wayne Bronson of Oak Tree Productions in Kearneysville and will be aired on PBS stations in West Virginia and Virginia.
