Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire

On today's pod, stuff is happening and we're talking about, I don't know, you know, the usual, but also new stuff.

[upbeat music] This is a WMUR podcast, The Trail: All Things Politics.

Hey, everybody.

Welcome to The Trail: All Things Politics, WMUR's new politics podcast.

I'm WMUR political director, Adam Sexton.

And I'm WMUR anchor, Steve Bottari.

And so that's what New Hampshire forces candidates to do, is confront the individual, talk to the person, right? And that person can be anybody.

And that's part of the idea, is that there's no barrier to entry here.

And we're adding a little history and heritage to today's journey.

Later, we'll be joined by Jerriann Bogus, Executive Director of the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire.

Now, when you think of Black history in America, New Hampshire may not be the first destination that comes to mind, and that is exactly why I'm looking forward to this conversation.

We'll talk about the people, places, and stories that have shaped Black history in New Hampshire, why preserving these stories matter, and how travelers can experience that history themselves.

Culture is forever changing and reflecting what's happening in the society and with its people.

It can be born of the arts, music, food, and sometimes even politics and strife.

This is the Culture Report, and joining me today is Jerriann Bogus, the Executive Director of the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire, a nonprofit that promotes awareness of the state's Black history and life in order to build more inclusive communities today.

Hello, Jerriann, and welcome to Traveling Culturati.
