Descendants of Lee's enslaved and enslavers reconcile at Arlington House.

TL;DR Summary
Descendants of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and the people his family once enslaved gathered at Arlington House, the national memorial to Lee, to pursue racial understanding in what's known as the Family Circle. The National Park Service has created a more inclusive experience, restoring the cramped slave quarters where Selina and Thornton Gray lived with their eight children. The celebration on the grounds of Arlington House Saturday was called "Finding Our Voice" and drew about a hundred people. The Family Circle dialogue brings together descendants of everyone who had a role at Arlington House.
