To celebrate the role African slaves played in the formation of Bermuda, The African Diaspora Heritage Trail has been launched. Free brochures are available from tourist offices to take you along this self-guided tour which highlights peak points in the black cultural history of the island. A special commemorative plaque marks each site.

Thirteen sites have been identified including the site of the slave ship Enterprise incident which like the similar, better-known Amistad affair, involved the rescuing of slaves seeking refuge and freedom; the historic Slave Graveyard at St. Peter's Church (ca. 1612), both located in St. George's (UNESCO's newest World Heritage Site); the Crow Lane site of the execution of Sally Bassett, slave revolt leader; sites associated with Mary Prince, the Bermudian slave who wrote the first account of slavery actually authored by a slave, which played a key role in the struggle to abolish slavery; and Cobb's Hill Wesleyan Methodist Church, built by slaves by moonlight.
