# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Ona Judge Staines Mural Unveiling
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: In 2023, the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire unveiled plans to paint a mural of Ona Marie Judge Staines on its Portsmouth, New Hampshire, headquarters. As part of a local History Through Art initiative, the Black Heritage Trail will honor Staines, who bravely escaped the bonds of slavery in the late 1700s. While not yet a household name, Staines’ story is one of courage and self-determination that historians are working to share with the public.

The Trail is working with artist Manuel Ramirez of Positive Street Art to create the mural. Below see the process that we came to decide on the mural's imagery, how Ona Judge would be portrayed, and how we would ensure the artwork reflected historical reality of the time period in which Ona Judge lived.

The mural will be unveiled on Saturday, May 23, 2026. The event will feature guest speakers and a reception with refreshments provided. RSVP here: https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/428Srdj02-hbXbeJVo7Uug
