Remembering Gabriel: Nearly two dozen people gathered Oct. 10 to mark the 218th anniversary of the death of Gabriel, the enslaved blacksmith who planned a rebellion in 1800 in what is now Henrico County. Gabriel fled after his plan was thwarted. He was captured near Norfolk and returned to the Richmond area where he was hanged on Oct. 10, 1800, in the area near the African Burial Ground in Shockoe Bottom. Last week’s commemoration was hosted by the Sacred Ground Reclamation Project of the Virginia Defenders for Freedom, Justice & Equality, which advocates for a 9-acre memorial park to be created on the site.
