We honor the roles enslaved people played in building the United States, and the Americas, and the ongoing work of Black people to shape our communities and future.

African American Heritage Trail of Martha’s Vineyard - Esther’s Story
While creating Childhood Interrupted so many people in my neighborhood were intrigued by what I was doing and once they learned what it was for they really embraced it. They offered help with painting, offered paint brushes, came by to help me cut wood, etc. I had an idea and they each brought their skillset to help me bring that idea to life. I am truly proud of my community! Greatness never happens alone!
Thank you to James Thomas- my brother-in-law who heard me say, “Just ONE MORE cut-out,” a million times and he never complained. Thank you to community for understanding the value of this project and offering your skills.
I look forward to seeing everyone next weekend for the unveiling of Childhood Interrupted.
