Meet Jeremy Morris. He’s an actor-interpreter at @ColonialWmsburg, a living-history museum in Williamsburg, Virginia. “I portray free and enslaved blacks,” Jeremy said. “We say ‘enslaved’ to give individuals their full humanity, to be clear that this is a condition placed on a person rather than defining who they are. I tell their stories and provide context for the institution of slavery.” Jeremy gives talks at designated times, and people engage with him in character when he’s walking the grounds of the museum. He’s been acting for about 10 years in regional theater. Because there’s so little information available about the men Jeremy portrays, he’s left to fill in the blanks of history creatively. From an artistic standpoint, Jeremy says, that’s exciting. But he says it’s also disheartening that we know so little about these men. Jeremy says he feels a great responsibility portraying them. “I want to honor the people who went before us and struggled and showed us how to survive, who knew who they were and said, ‘I’m a human being just as you are.’” @justingellerson took this photo of Jeremy.
