By CLINT SCHEMMER Culpeper Star–Exponent ORANGE—In a breakthrough culminating nearly 30 years of work at James Madison’s Montpelier, descendants of enslaved persons at a major national historic site for the first time will be co-equals in governing the place that held their ancestors in bondage. The National Trust for Historic Preservation, which owns the Virginia home of the fourth U.S. president and “Father of the Constitution,” lauded the decision by Montpelier’s board of directors. Gene Hickok, board chair of The Montpelier Foundation, said changing how the site is run caps “a 28-plus years engagement with the Montpelier descendants community, and more recently, a deliberate, yearlong process by the board to achieve organizational and structural parity which reflects the complete history of this specific place and America as a whole.”
