It's the 400th anniversary so it's a big deal back home. Local folks and scholars would get that. Gayle King and Twitter did not. Quote below:


Well, it has been a difficult week," Northam said after the first question from CBS' Gayle King. "If you look at Virginia's history, we're now at the 400-year anniversary – just 90 miles from here, in 1619, the first indentured servants from Africa landed on our shores."
