| Hello/Intro MLK III Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. Every February Americans celebrate Black History Month. The tribute dates back to 19-26 when a Harvard Scholar began promoting a week-long observance of the contributions of African-Americans to the United States. It eventually turned into a month-long celebration. Black History Month comes on the heels of Martin Luther King, Junior's birthday in January. This year his son brought his message to New Hampshire asking everyone to help renew the commitment to fighting intolerance. Phil Vaughn has the story. |
| Intro Digging/Street Return to index of stories... |
An update now on the 18th century burial ground un-earthed in Portsmouth. D-N-A results confirmed the remains that were dug up at the intersection of Court and Chestnut Streets-- are of African ancestry. A Blue Ribbon Committee is close to making a decision on a final resting place for the remains. There had been talk of closing off a part of Chestnut Street to traffic for a memorial--but, now the Committee believes they can set up a memorial and protect it from traffic -- without shutting down the road. Celene Ramadan was there in October of 2003 when archaeologists uncovered a piece of Portsmouth's history. |

to go down there and to see pipes going through that site certainly I found personally appalling. THE LOCATION OF THE REMAINS WAS, AT THE TIME, AT THE EDGE OF THE CITY. ACCORDING TO REVEREND ART HILSON, THIS WAS TYPICAL OF THE KIND OF SEGREGATION THAT HAPPENED NOT JUST IN LIFE, BUT IN DEATH. ART Yes, yes - always burying them outside the city limits or along the river somewhere. I mean segregation was real. You kept us apart in death as in life - God forbid you would have a Negro buried near someone white! They might wind up trying to go into white heaven! So, I think it was kind of insanity. And I think when you look at all that - we've come a long way A GOOD INDICATION OF HOW FAR WE'VE COME HAS BEEN THE SUPPORT FROM THE COMMUNITY FROM THIS RECENT FIND. Art There's an attorney in town who came to me and said he bough some property and in that property there were 10 burial spots and he's willing to donate those spots. There's another person who owns a building there and he's willing to have something there on the building to recognize it and so there's been that kind of great support - people reaching out. And all of these were of the community not of the African American community who came forward and to contribute what they could. Ellen Marlatt, Archeologist What's come about is a great outpouring of support from the community, particularly the African American community. The Portsmouth Black Heritage Trail, and other organizations in town, the historic preservation communities and teachers - this has been a great opportunity to educate people about this era - about attitudes - the idea of paving over a cemetery. Particularly an African cemetery is something that's startling to a lot of our passers by. ALTHOUGH THE FUTURE OF THE REMAINS HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED, REVERED HILSON HAS HIS OWN IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE COURT AND CHESTNUT STREET SITE. ART I hope that we could find a way to memorialize that spot and to recognize because these people gave so much and yet were so margainalized. They were cast out on the edge of the city as almost throw away in certain ways. And so one has to ask, what is the sanctity of life? FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE OUTLOOK, I'M CELENE RAMADAN |

Thursday, February 3, 2005: We started taping just after 5:30pm tonight. We were delayed because today's show fell-through and we had to go to a backup and that meant editing a new pkg. Phil was able to edit it relatively quickly. We had to start the show twice because of a wrong tape. We had a problem with a key and that delayed us. We had to check an audio glitch. We also taped promos for the weekend & Monday since Beth is off on Friday. We finished a little after 6:30pm. |
