Join one of several upcoming Harvard and Landscape of Slavery Guided Tours, designed and led by University Chaplains, Rev. Dan Smith and Rev. Rita Powell, and students from Harvard Divinity School and other schools. These tours explore six historic sites from the Harvard and Legacy of Slavery report. Participants have opportunities for silence, reflection, and slowing down to honor the past, present, and one another. The 1.6-mile tour covers flat terrain, city sidewalks, and grassy areas and lasts approximately 2 hours. If you require accommodations or have questions about physical access, please contact the Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery Initiative at  legacyofslavery@harvard.edu.  Upcoming tours will be offered on Thursday, September 25, 3-5 pm and Saturday, October 4, 10 am – noon. You can register as an individual or with a group of friends and/or members from your congregation or community group.

P.S. If you are looking for other opportunities of journey and reflection, consider the King Phillip’s War pilgrimage, starting with Deer Island this October. Over three years, Province I of the Episcopal church with various native, ecumenical, interfaith partners in each diocese will sponsor convening opportunities to walk and pray and be in silence and listening together. These events will be on each of the Indigenous People’s Day weekends of 2025, 2026, 2027, and Holy Week of 2028, commemorating the signing of the treaty that ended the active phase of the conflict. Other events may emerge. In each event, the intention is to have opportunities to gather, to walk, to listen. For more information follow this link
