SUMMARY:Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington "Stumbling Stones" Dedication
DESCRIPTION:Memorializing Nann and Bess at Central Library\n\nThe Arlington 
 Historical Society and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington invite you to 
 the unveiling of two “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 2\,000 enslaved people and 
 identified 1\,050 by name.\n\nPlease join us for the Dedication Ceremony 
 honoring two once enslaved individuals: Bess (Born ca. 1735) and Nan (Born 
 ca. 1747). Both Nann and Bess were enslaved by the Triplett family\, who 
 leased the land (where Central Library now sits) in the 18th century. 
 \n\nSpeakers include Tim Aiken\, Memorializing the Enslaved Arlington\, 
 Holly Karapetkova\, Arlington Poet Laureate\, and Scott Taylor\, Black 
 Heritage Museum of Arlington. \n\nThe dedication ceremony will take place 
 outdoors at the intersection of N. Quincy Street and 10th Street N. In the 
 event of rain\, the program will move to the Central Library Auditorium. 
 \n\nREGISTRATION RECOMMENDED. By registering\, you will receive event
