Racial Justice Team Walking Tour
Linda Cooper, Racial Justice Team
Vermont’s African American Heritage Trail beckons…
Your Racial Justice Team takes you to Hinesburg to learn about the Black Farmers of 1790-1890:
Saturday, August 28, 10:30 a.m.–12 p.m.
Spaces are limited: Register with Linda Cooper, [email protected] or (802) 922-7554.
Leave from the FUUSB parking lot at 9:45 a.m. to carpool, or meet the group by the Black Settlers Historic Marker on Lincoln Hill Road in Hinesburg. Carpools are at your discretion; please wear a mask if sharing a car with others. FUUSB encourages everyone to wear masks both outdoors and indoors. Bring snacks and water for yourself.
From 1795 to 1865 an African American farming community thrived on Lincoln Hill. We will go for a walk (on a road, not through the woods) with historian Elise Guyette to see where the farms were, learn what their lives in Hinesburg were like, and see some of the remnants of the cemetery. Click here for more information!
FUUSB will pay for our speaker. I will pass a hat to reimburse FUUSB. Please plan accordingly.
