The Arlington Historical Society and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington 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 and are placed in the sidewalk at the last known site of their enslavement. Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington’s research has revealed over 2000 enslaved people and identified 1050 by name.
Please join us for the Dedication Ceremony honoring nine once enslaved individuals.
We will be honoring them at 4 PM at the Lee Center Baseball Field, 24th Street, North and North Kentucky Street. It is adjacent to the Lee Community & Senior Center and Park at 5722 Langston Boulevard.
More details coming soon.
