In 2019, the Vermont Racial Justice Alliance held its inaugural First African Landing Day, recognizing the day that English colonists brought the first enslaved African people to North America. The theme of the third annual commemoration this weekend, “Out of Darkness, Into the Light,” highlights the need to recognize America’s true history and right the wrongs of the past. Rev. Dr. William Barber of Poor People’s Campaign keynotes, the True Black History Museum and the Hampton History Museum display their traveling exhibits, the Original Moonlighters bring the music, and Harmony’s Kitchen serves soul food.
Price: Free; preregister.
