The Black Heritage Museum of Arlington and AHS invite you to the unveiling of “Stumbling Stones.” These bronze markers commemorate the lives of the enslaved people who helped build our county (and our country). The markers are placed in the sidewalk at the last known location where these enslaved people lived. Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington’s research has revealed over 2700 enslaved people and identified 1050 by name.
In November we will be dedicating four “Stumbling Stones.”
- November 1 @ 3 PM North Highlands/Dawson Terrace: North Taft and 21 Street
- November 8 @ 4 PM Douglas Park: South Quincy and 16th Streets
- November 9 @ 1 PM Green Valley: Lomax AME Zion Church, 2704 South 24th Road
- November 15 @ 10 AM Lyon Park: North Garfield and 4th Street
Come and learn their stories and commemorate their contributions to build our county and our country.
