“Finding Freedom in Little Compton” with Marjory O’Toole of the Little Compton Historical Society / Tuesday, June 23rd @ 5:30 PM

In 2021 Juneteenth became a federal holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the United States, but it began as a local event in Texas in 1865. Join local historian Marjory O’Toole, Executive Director of the Little Compton Historical Society, to explore the local end of slavery in this community in 1816 and the many ways Little Compton’s enslaved men and women have found their freedom since the early 1700s
