    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This monument raises awareness for Mary Lumpkin, an enslaved women who inherited Lumpkin’s Slave Jail from her enslaver and “husband”, which she rented out to Rev. Colver. This former Jail was transformed into a school for newly freed individuals, and Virginia Union University was originated from this learning institution. In 2020, Mary Lumpkin was given credit for her role in letting the old slave jail to Reverend Colver, who struggled to find accommodation in Richmond. She is honoured with a drive and street sign named after her that runs through the University campus, on which one will find a stone marker outside the Baptist Memorial Building with an inscription in her honour. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[One of the most notorious slave jails in Richmond. Robert Lumpkin purchased the facilities in 1844, but the jail was built by Bacon Tait from 1830 on, and later leased to Lewis A. Collier, a fellow Richmond slave trader. Robert Lumpkin ran the jail until the liberation of Richmond by Union Troops on April 2nd, 18 1865. The Jail, also called the 'Devil's Half Acre' due to the horrible treatment of African Americans was used to punish 'runaway slaves', and tragically ripped apart countless families due to the sale of individuals. Countless enslaved Individuals were punished in this jail, the most well-known individual being Anthony Burns.
