Names Added Prominently to Westport’s History

The brickwork displaying the names of enslaved African Americans unveiled today to mark the closure of the Westport Historical Society’s exhibit “Remembered: The History of African Americans in Westport.” They are known only by their first names in historical records. Said TEAM Westport Director Harold Bailey: “May the memories be celebrated as prominently as the Coleys, Staples, and Sherwoods to whom they were bound.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
