Sankofa Walking Tour: A Quest to Thrive: Economics of Slavery & Portsmouth’s Early Black Community

August 11, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

$20

Tour Guide & Sankofa Scholar: Angela Matthews

Institutionalized slavery in Colonial America provided immense wealth and material culture to many European immigrants and their descendants in the Americas, as Portsmouth’s house museums bear witness. This tour brings into focus an economic system dependent upon the international slave trade with its constant supply of kidnapped unpaid African workers and their descendants, who, against the odds, created one of this country’s oldest Black communities.
