We are pleased to be contributing a marker celebrating Lafayette's abolitionist views, which we designed as a resource complementing the interpretive work ongoing at the museum.

The event will start promptly at noon ET on Friday, November 20, at Belmont Mansion (2000 Belmont Mansion Dr, Philadelphia, PA 19131). The ceremony is expected to last up to 45 minutes and include remarks from all stakeholders involved in the preparation of this marker, the formal unveiling of the new sign, and photo opportunities for attendees.
