TOWNSHEND â A new name is being proposed for Negro Brook, which flows down Bald Mountain in Townshend State Park.
At a remote meeting at 10 a.m. Thursday, the Vermont Board of Libraries will be resuming a public hearing on renaming it Susanna Toby Brook, after an early Black settler and longtime resident of Townshend who died in 1855 and whose husband fought in the Revolutionary War in place of his slaveholderâs son. Log-in information can be found at libraries.vermont.gov/about us/board.
West River Mutual Aid and the West River Community Project sent out messages encouraging local residents to participate in the meeting.

A Mutual Aid Organizer
Samantha Davis, an
organizer with East of the River Mutual Aid, is still very much committed to the cause. While the network formed in direct response to the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, organizers have adapted to the needs of their community over the last 12 months and responded to co-occurring crises from the uprising against police brutality and anti-Black racism to everyday gun violence.
