About this event
Newport Black History Walk
This 75-minute walk in Newport provides a history of previously untold real-life stories of our Black and Native American ancestors, and the vital contributions they made. The one-mile Historic Hill walk begins at Bowen's Wharf, near the Harbor Hotel.
Newport Black History Walking Tours is a unique walk-through-history experience that has been made possible by RI Slave History Medallions (
RISHM.org). NBHWT has been established and produced with the belief that the daily history of all cultures and peoples has relevance for all, and still resonates with us today. Our trained historians and educators have worked tirelessly to discover more untold stories about early Black Americans and to share the contributions they made and legacies they left. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and clothing, and bring a water bottle if desired.
Cost $20; scholarships & rides available. Payment info will be provided after registration. Further information:
