Private Walking Tour of the Black Heritage Trail.

Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Members and guests are invited to join on this docent-led private walking tour of the Black Heritage Trail.  Tour guides bring to life the stories of African Americans who have called New Hampshire their home.

The Black Heritage Trail promotes awareness and appreciation of African American history and life in order to build more inclusive communities that embrace our shared history and work to heal racial anxiety and misunderstanding.

"Sober and eye opening. The Black Heritage Trail NH forces us to question those we have traditionally considered heroes and to elevate those that have been marginalized, instead."  Jodi Picoult, New York Times best selling author. 

You are invited to watch the impactful documentary, "Shadows Fall North'.
How does a state with the motto “Live Free or Die” and a celebrated legacy of abolitionism confront and understand its participation in slavery, segregation, and the neglect of African-American history?
