With the Black Heritage Trail of NH

Online Event

Now in its fifth year, the Good Friday tour of selected sites on the Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail is a partnership between the Black Heritage Trail of NH and St. John’s Episcopal Church.  By illuminating fourteen stories of the suffering of forgotten Africans the Good Friday walk brings understanding and appreciation.

This symbolic walk is taken in humility and respect on one of Christianity’s holiest days.  By taking up the cross of centuries of suffering endured by our African American friends, neighbors and family it is possible to realize the dream of living united in thought, word and deed.  The walk is an act of redemption that the church, once complicit in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and long since in its aftermath, has taken.

This year, the Virtual Walk will be held on 4/15 at 2:00 p.m. The following link connects to the event registration page. https://blackheritagetrailnh.org/sankofa-guided-walking-tours/
