New audio recordings created by multimedia artist Shanta Lee will enhance the visitor experience at selected sites on the Vermont African American Heritage Trail.

These recordings resulted from a collaboration between the Brattleboro Words Trail and the Vermont African American Heritage Trail and will be shared on both sites. They can be accessed all together at bit.ly/772-VAAHT. ...

An original advisor to the Brattleboro Words Trail, Lee says she is excited about how the audio will encourage people to delve more deeply into Vermont's rich Black history.

"Both residents and visitors to Vermont will now have an opportunity to get a deeper understanding of the Black history of these sites through these pieces," she said in a news release. "I hope that eventually each site on the African American Heritage Trail will be accompanied by an audio companion piece similar to these."
