Award-winning journalist and WHRO segment producer Connor Worley takes us deeper into the sporting life of colonial Virginia. From the spectacle of horse racing to the brutal thrill of cockfights and rough-and-tumble wrestling, these contests were not just entertainment but expressions of power and control. Sport upheld social order, blurred class lines, and exposed the colony’s deep racial divides. Connor Worley speaks with local and national historians, bringing us into a world where competition reflected a society on the brink of revolution.
