🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

On Sunday, via @blackheritagetrailnh:

MEET NEW HAMPSHIRE`S 5 TO KNOW

Sunday, June 21 @ 11:00 AM | Living History Interpretation
📍M&T Bank Parking Lot, 325 State St, Portsmouth, NH

This Juneteenth, step into history and celebrate five historic African Americans whose lives, courage, and brilliance offer powerful insights into New Hampshire`s Black history.

Through engaging living-history performances, these historic men and women will come to life—inviting us to look beyond familiar narratives to discover a richer, more complex American history.

Meet:

🔴 Wentworth Cheswell — Revolutionary War veteran, community leader, and the first Black person elected to public office in the United States.

🔴 Richard Potter —An internationally known magician, ventriloquist, and performer who became America’s first celebrity.

🔴 Harriet Wilson — The first Black woman to publish a novel in the United States.

🔴 Prince Whipple — Revolutionary War veteran and one of the signers of the 1779 Petition for Freedom.

🔴 Ona Marie Judge — A young woman enslaved by George and Martha Washington who made the courageous decision to free herself.

This family-friendly celebration will also feature hands-on activities for children, interactive learning stations, and opportunities to engage directly with interpreters. Young visitors can explore history through crafts, storytelling, and creative play designed to spark curiosity and pride.

Caught postering: This gent from Manchester who’s in NSquared Dance: Fun & Games coming to @3sartspace on June 11.

He’s pointing to some very fine work by David J. Murray at the #PortsmouthNH Visitors Center. (And he was hilarious!)

Here’s the gist: NSquared Dance (often referred to as n2 Dance) is performing their original production, "Fun and Games," at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, NH. The family-friendly event brings childhood board games and modern sports to life on stage.
