In 2018, students from the Class of 2026 worked together to answer the driving question, “If there were enslaved people at Potowomut in the past, how can we raise awareness and honor them by giving them a voice?” Working with several outside organizations including The Office of Secretary of State, Rhode Island State Archives, and Rhode Island Slave History (RISH), the “Junior Historians” went to work. After many months of researching, the students were able to verify that there was evidence of slavery on Potowomut.
