Our Mission

The Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire promotes awareness and appreciation of African American history and life in order to build more inclusive communities today. We believe that if we could embrace our shared history, we could heal racial anxiety and misunderstanding -- in our communities, our state and in this country.

Who We Are

The Trail offers five signature programs including: Our guided tours conducted by well-trained, experienced guides who have developed key strategies for sharing and interpreting conflicting histories. Our Sankofa Scholars bring to life the stories of African Americans for whom the Granite State is home. The Elinor Williams Hooker Tea Talks, a series of participatory lectures related to New Hampshire’s Black history and African American culture. An annual Juneteenth celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. An annual reading of Frederick Douglass’ historic protest speech “What to the slave is your 4th of July” in communities across the state. The Black New England Conference, an annual 2-day gathering where academics, artists, activists, and community members share insights and research on Black experiences, past and present, in New England and beyond. As we celebrate a people’s history of resilience, versatility and courage, we invite everyone to explore for themselves what our shared history means and bring that light into the present.
