About the Montpelier Descendants Committee

The Montpelier Descendants Committee (MDC) is a pioneering organization dedicated to restoring the narratives of enslaved Americans at historic sites, particularly James Madison’s Montpelier in Central Virginia. As the first independent, descendant-led group, MDC works tirelessly to promote a more accurate understanding of the lives of enslaved people and their contributions to American ideals of liberty.

Impact of the Montpelier Descendants Committee

By achieving structural parity with The Montpelier Foundation, MDC has established itself as an equal co-steward of this historic site, fostering a more inclusive understanding of American history.
