Description

The project objective is to expand Section 8 of the Portsmouth Village National Register of Historic Places nomination form, which was accepted by the Keeper in 1978, to include the African American experience at the site. It documents the maritime history of slavery and will bring public awareness and appreciation to a not often told story by the National Park Service.
