Meet Cyrus Bruce: A Life in Living Color (Langdon House)
A Living History Presentation by Sankofa Tour Guide
Once enslaved, now free to enter contract labor for wages, Cyrus Bruce is the elegantly tailored footman and major domo serving the household of New Hampshire’s first elected governor after the Revolutionary War. Bruce might be discreet about sharing the personal adventures that led him to Portsmouth but freely describes his role in this mansion and his appreciation for being a member of this vibrant Black community.
