Who we are

Atlantic Black Box is a public history project that empowers communities throughout New England to take up the critical work of researching and reckoning with our region’s complicity in the slave trade and our extensive involvement in the global economy of enslavement. This grassroots historical recovery movement is powered by citizen historians and guided by a broad coalition of scholars, community leaders, educators, archivists, museum professionals, antiracism activists, and artists.

Why history?

We believe in building community better through enlightened conversation. Our mission is to initiate and sustain open, engaging, and inclusive dialog at the local and regional level about who we were, who we are, and who we hope to be going forward, informed by an evidence-based approach to understanding our history and the many ways in which it connects to our present.
