In that time, Newport ships brought over 100,000 enslaved men, women, and children on the horrendous Middle Passage journey from Africa to North America. Today, over 325 years after the first slave voyage to Newport, residents are still grappling with the long shadow of that history. The creation of the Newport Middle Passage Port Marker Project is just one step in the journey of lifting that shadow and responding to its consequences. </p> 451 452 453 454<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Beginnings</strong></p> 455 456 457 458<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In January 2016, Ann Chinn of Jacksonville, Florida, Program Director of the <a href="https://www.middlepassageproject.com/">National Middle Passage Ceremony and Port Marker Project</a> convened a discussion at <a href="https://www.rihs.org/">Rhode Island Historical Society</a> in Providence to assess interest in creating a Middle Passage Port Marker for Rhode Island.

As agriculture and slavery slowly declined, hundreds left the rural towns, many of them formerly enslaved African American and Indigenous men. They sought out opportunities in shipping and whaling as cooks, first mates, oarsmen, and boatsteerers. They crossed the bay, the Atlantic, and the world in pursuit of a livelihood that had eluded them at home. What they found were South Sea islands, arctic icescapes, wondrous sea creatures, warring tribes, hardship, and occasionally, opportunities for stunning achievement.</p> 834 835 836 837<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Peter Fay is a public historian and board member of the Jamestown Historical Society.
