Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington, 1669-1865
April 6, 2025 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
The Arlington Historical Society and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington invite you to the unveiling of “Stumbling Stones.” These bronze markers commemorate the lives of the enslaved people who helped build our county (and our country). The markers are placed in the sidewalk at the last known location where these enslaved people lived. Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington’s research has revealed over 2750 enslaved people and identified 1050 of them.
Please join us for the Dedication Ceremony honoring two individuals once enslaved:
Humphrey Albert: Born ca. 1841
Priscilla Williams: Born ca. 1852
We will be honoring them at 3:00 pm, Sunday, April 6, 2025
Northwest corner of Key Boulevard and Highland Street, Arlington, VA 22201
