Castine in July 2014.
When Castine residents go to Town Meeting on Saturday, they ll be asked whether the town should consider seeking a name change for two islands whose murky history is raising thorny questions about race and white privilege.
Upper Negro Island and Lower Negro Island lie near the Castine side of the Bagaduce River, across from Brooksville. Johanna Barrett, who owns Compass Rose Books in Castine, says she and others started trying to find out more when, inspired by Maine s recent bicentennial, they began delving into the town s history. The islands were probably stopping points for free Black loyalists prior to the American Revolutionary War. But that still hasn t been established firmly, she says.
