This specal exhibit looks at everyday people who were the originators and shapers of modern Nevis society. They include resisters, matriarchs, abolitionsists, skilled persons and survivors who made a life for themselves and their families, despite the appalling treatment and conditions at the time. Delve into the stories of Patty the midwife, Tom Jones the stonemason, and Pero the personal servant whose legacy lives on through Pero's Bridge in the UK, which honours him and other Africans and Caribbean persons who were enslaved by Bristol's merchants and planters. This exhibition is based on research by NHCS members and UK historians Christine Eickelmann and David Small, and sponsored in part through a Cultures of Resistsance Award.
