Art Wall - Vibrant Lives: Discovering Our Roots of Black Vermont

Vibrant Lives: Discovering Our Roots of Black Vermont is a community-driven public oral history initiative illuminating the often-unseen histories, stories, and living legacies of Black Vermonters—past, present, and future. Come visit our Art Wall throughout July and August  to view photograph portraits of Black Vermonters, and discover this terrific storytelling project led by photographer René Rentería and poet/activist Rajnii Eddins.
