CVille Pilgrimage: Interview with Mark & Joann Jeter

This Is This

Mark and Joann Jeter were actors with the Shakespeare company, along with David. They toured together and trod the boards of the Blackfriars Playhouse. The Jeters have returned to our hometown of Staunton, VA where they live in a diverse and quiet neighborhood, rearing their little daughters in a loving community of friends. On the one year anniversary of the murderous invasion of Charlottesville by white supremacists, it is my privilege to shed a little light on some hope. The interview is pre-recorded, and I write this on the very weekend of the anniversary. Our friends in Charlottesville remain concerned and yet vigilant in their insistence on love and justice. Mark participated in the CVille Pilgrimage, delivering soil from a lynching site in Charlottesville to the Lynching Memorial in Montgomery, AL. WARNING for our Dear Listeners: You will hear language that is detailed and descriptive of the violence inflicted upon a man named John Henry James. Please be mindful of that if you are listening to this episode with small children around. Also, the interview is long. I did not want to edit out one syllable or moment of silence. If you need to take breaks and come back to it, please do. Don’t miss a word. Trust me. With admiration and gratitude to Mark and Joann, Love, Kristen (and David)
