There's an Igbo village being built in Virginia. Apparently there were so many Igbo people shipped there during the slave trade that they became a majority, so the site will serve as a homage to those Igbo people.

You can see more on the Frontier museum of Virginia's website

Very interesting pictures. How often will they hold events there? Also, the first link you posted is not working.

It's actually a museum piece, so I don't think much events will be held there except demonstrations of 1700's Igbo/West African life.

Thank you for sharing. I would love to visit the Igbo village. California is so far from Virginia & I don't travel by plane.
