Kittery’s Black Yankees

October 29, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

Sankofa Tour Guide: Nur Shoop

This tour describes how African residents of a northern port town used their own traditions of resilience and mutual aid to establish one of Maine’s earliest African American communities. You will hear stories of Black people living here during colonial slavery times through the modern era, a history often ignored and rarely identified with the heritage of northern New England.

Meeting place: Wallingford Square downtown Kittery.
