Memorializing the Enslaved in Arlington: Dedication at Westover
Join us for the Dedication Ceremony honoring two once enslaved individuals: Liza and Jinny. We will be honoring them at the Northeast Corner of Washington Boulevard and North Longfellow Street. Liza and Jinny were enslaved by Nicholas and Amanda Febrey. During the 1850s, the Febreys moved from their farm near Upton’s Hill to what is now Westover. The Arlington Historical Society and the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington invite you to the unveiling of “Stumbling Stones.” These bronze markers commemorate the lives of the enslaved people who helped build our county (and our country). The markers are placed in the sidewalk at the last known location where these enslaved people lived.
