In this episode of the World Footprints podcast, we have the privilege of interviewing Keith Stokes, advisor to the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society.
We met Keith in Newport, Rhode Island in a section of Newport’s Common Burial Ground known as “God’s Little Acre”—recognized as the oldest and largest colonial African burial grounds in the United States.
Keith takes us on a walk around the cemetery and keeps us captivated by the many underrepresented stories revealed by the stone markers.
This episode represents Part 1 of a two-part series.
