Where the original jail was located, and proposed site of Lumpkin's Slave Jail museum. The area is where major slave trading for the US took place & where Solomon Northup (12 Years a Slave) was sold.

What remains/was unearthed of the Lumpkin's Slave Jail (which was then converted into one of the first Black schools in Virginia, the precursor to Virginia Union University). This is Richmond history.
