450<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />Newport, Rhode Island was the center of the American triangle slave trade for over a century, sending more voyages to Africa than any other state. 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. &nbsp; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

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. Markers were already installed at several port cities on the East Coast.</p>

He graduated from the International Tour Management Institute and after a few stints with local tour organizations, including the Newport Historical Society, founded his own upscale tour company “Rhogue Island Tours”, which specializes in personalized entertaining, irreverent but historically accurate tours. He has researched Rhode Island history thoroughly, pouring over 300 books from many of the local libraries, including the esteemed Redwood Library, to ensure all listeners are getting an accurate yet often provocative narrative.

673<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Philo Phillips of North Kingstown was 27 when his owner sold him into the state’s Black Regiment during the Revolutionary War. Now a soldier, he marched and fought for his life and freedom. However, like many soldiers, he was not alone. His wife accompanied him throughout the war as a “camp follower”, furnishing food, laundry, and nursing. She also earned income as a washerwoman for other soldiers. A year later, she learned her husband was captured by the British troops during a skirmish and was held captive in Newport. Six months later he escaped back to the regiment where his wife remained. At the end of the war, after five long years of service, Philo Phillips was honorably discharged.</p>

833<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For centuries, Rhode Island sent its young men to sea. 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>

He also is currently helping develop a public memorial to recognize the role of Newport in the history of the slave trade.</p>
