Description:

Forty stories that motivate the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire to educate the public. Forty prayers that inspire the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire to work for social justice. The Reconciliation Commission of the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire reached out to the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire with an invitation to partner on a Lenten project. It was not immediately clear how a religious tradition would complement an historical interpretation of these forty events, but we agreed to collaborate. This book is our invitation to pause and reflect. The journey continues toward reconciliation and healing.
