RHODE ISLAND SLAVE HISTORY MEDALLION TO BE INSTALLED AT LINDEN PLACE ON JUNETEENTH

Linden Place Museum will become part of a statewide initiative as it unveils their Rhode Island Slave History Medallion at a free event on June 19th (also known as Juneteenth).

The event begins at 12:00 p.m. and will feature prominent local speakers, African dancers, live music, and a land acknowledgment by Sagamore William Guy of the Pokanoket tribe.

Each medallion includes a QR code that can be scanned by a smartphone to reveal information about the slave trade as it relates to each historic site.

The June 19th event is free, family-friendly, and outdoors, but space is limited. People can register to attend via the Eventbrite link at LindenPlace.org/events-calendar.
