Newburyport Black History

Last month, the City of Newburyport continued its commitment to honoring their city’s black history in an incredibly moving ceremony at the Old Hill Burying Ground.

Headstones marked ‘Once Known’ were placed on the unmarked graves of 18 people buried in a section of the Old Hill Burying Ground, known as the African-American burying ground.
