Exploring and Understanding Newton Slave Burial Ground

Tune in as historian Kevin Farmer and Faith Callender take us to the Newton Slave Burial Ground - the only known excavated communal slave burial ground within a plantation setting in the western hemisphere.

While telling the history of the brutal plantation system and life for enslaved men and women, it also tells us more about our rich culture and the African influences that have been handed down from to us, from the way we talk, move and dress to the food we eat and even the churches we attend.

With interpretive plans on the way, this sacred site, located in Christ Church, is now a place where we as descendants can come back as free people and pay homage to them, and a safe space where we can come to terms with a traumatic past. #BarbadosHeritageMonth #VisitBarbados #LoveBarbados
