On August 23, 2015, a ceremony recognizing Boston as a Middle Passage port site took place at Faneuil Hall. The partnership formed following this ceremony sought to design, fabricate, and install a permanent marker in Boston to mark this port city’s role in the Middle Passage. Both the event and the port marker are part of a larger effort by the Middle Passage Ceremonies and Port Markers Project (MPCPMP), an international, grassroots organization dedicated to commemorating the more than 2 million people who perished in the Middle Passage of the transatlantic human trade, and the 10 million who survived. Partnering with historical and cultural societies, academic institutions, churches, visitor and tourist bureaus, and community organizations, the MPCPMP’s aim is to research, identify, and facilitate remembrance ceremonies at all ports of captive Africans’ entry during the 350 years of the transatlantic human trade in North, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Europe.
