SUMMARY:The 29th Connecticut Regiment And the Fight For Freedom — Film Screening and Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the short film “The 29th Connecticut Regiment and the Fight For Freedom\,” followed by a presentation by one of the filmmakers. \nThis original documentary\, which won Best Connecticut Film at the 2023 Mystic Film Festival\, tells the story of the brave African-American men who enlisted in Connecticut’s 29th Colored Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War and fought for the freedom of their people. The film tells their remarkable story of sacrifice and heroism on battlefields in South Carolina and Virginia. Near the end of the war\, the 29th Connecticut was sent to Brownsville\, Texas where they were part of the federal force that occupied that town and brought news of the emancipation of the enslaved – celebrated today as Juneteenth. \nAfter the film screening\, Christopher Barlow of the Berlin Equity Action Team will give a presentation about the making of the film. \nBefore and after the program\, we invite you to browse our exhibition\, Wide Awake: Campaigning for Lincoln. The exhibition highlights a youth movement born out of the 1860 presidential campaign that had an outsized impact on Lincoln’s election and the war that followed. \nThis program is free!

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - The Connecticut Yankee Occupation of St. Augustine\, FL\, 1862-1865
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Presentation!\nFrom 1862-1865 the 7th\, 10th\, and 17th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry regiments occupied the “Ancient City” of St. Augustine\, Florida during the American Civil War. Their experiences with African Americans changed throughout the course of the war\, as government policy turned from a conciliatory approach to more stern measures. During this time\, Connecticut soldiers contended with the boredom of occupation duty\, the problem of feeding and sheltering African American refugees\, and the constant threat of guerrilla violence in the surrounding countryside. \nIn this virtual presentation\, Dr. Eric Paul Totten\, a New England Regional Fellowship Consortium grantee\, will discuss the eclectic experiences of the Connecticut Yankees in and around the Ancient City during the American Civil War.  Dr. Totten’s presentation will highlight a few interesting finds from the Connecticut Museum collection. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Get tickets to receive the Zoom link. Questions? Contact Public Programs Coordinator\, Jen Busa via email at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nAbout the Speaker:  Dr. Eric Paul Totten completed his Ph. D. in 2020 at the University of Arkansas where he is currently an Instructor in the Department of History. He is the author of[] [/] “Civil-Military Communities in Conflict: The 1862 Occupation of St. Augustine\, Florida\, and the Politics of Emancipation\,” in G. David Schieffler and Matthew Smith eds. Hundreds of Little Wars: Community\, Conflict\, and the Real Civil War which will be published by LSU Press in 2025. \nImage: Joseph Roswell Hawley\, 1861-1865\, carte-de-visite by Prescott & Gage. 1910.5.1\, Connecticut Museum of Culture and History collection. \nTICKETS\nThis virtual event is free!

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: Lyman Eppes - Black Yankee and Adirondack Pioneer
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Presentation!\nAmy Godine’s new book\, The Black Woods: Pursuing Racial Justice on the Adirondack Frontier (Cornell\, Fall 2023)\, tells the story of a rich abolitionist’s bid to colonize the Adirondack wilderness in 1846 by donating 120\,000 acres to 3\,000 impoverished Black New Yorkers before the Civil War. Gerrit Smith’s land gifts aimed to ease Black access to the ballot in an age when landless Black New Yorkers were disenfranchised. Frederick Douglass and New York’s leading Black reformers promoted Smith’s proposal with zeal. \nWhat does this story have to do with Connecticut? \nJoin us for this virtual presentation\, as Amy Godine traces this Adirondack story back to two key players that have Connecticut roots: Lyman Eppes and John Brown. The militant abolitionist\, John Brown\, born in Torrington\, Connecticut\, was an advocate of Smith’s plan and moved his family to Timbuctoo\, a new Black enclave in the Adirondack woods in 1849. \nAmy Godine will also introduce us to one of Smith’s grantees\, Lyman Eppes\, who was born in Colchester\, Connecticut. Eppes migrated to the Adirondacks with his family in 1849 and became Brown’s close friend and confidante. In his new home\, North Elba\, Eppes co-founded two churches\, a singing school\, and his town’s first library. The Eppes family’s tenure in the region spanned almost a century. \nQuestions? Contact Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, Jen Busa via email at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nAbout the Speaker: Publishers Weekly called Amy Godine’s The Black Woods: Pursuing Racial Justice on the Adirondack Frontier (Cornell\, 2023)\, an “eye-opening…vital contribution to African American history.” From Saratoga Springs\, New York\, Amy Godine has been publishing articles and essays about Adirondack Black\, ethnic\, migratory\, and labor history\, since 1989. \nTo purchase Amy Godine’s The Black Woods: Pursuing Racial Justice on the Adirondack Frontier\, click here.

SUMMARY:How the Negro Leagues Changed the Game....and America Too!
DESCRIPTION:Join CMCH and our guest Bob Kendrick\, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum\, to learn about baseball and civil rights. The discussion will provide an overview of the history of the Negro Leagues and its great stars. It will also shed light on how America’s unsung baseball heroes (including longtime Connectican Jackie Robinson) would help usher in the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. \nSuggested donation: $6 for CMCH members\, $10 for non-members. Event will be streamed live on Crowdcast. You can register here. Questions? Email Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org. \nAbout our Speaker \nBob Kendrick was named President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM) in March 2011. Founded in 1990\, the NLBM is the world’s only museum dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich history of African-American baseball and its profound impact on the social advancement of America. \nKendrick’s appointment as President marked a celebrated return to the NLBM after a 13-month departure. He became the museum’s first Director of Marketing in 1998 and was named Vice President of Marketing in 2009 before accepting the post as Executive Director of the National Sports Center for the Disabled-Kansas City in 2010. \nKendrick began his association with the NLBM as a volunteer during his 10-year newspaper career with The Kansas City Star. Kendrick has been responsible for the creation of several signature museum educational programs and events including the Hall of Game which annually honors former Major League Baseball greats who played the game in the spirit and signature style of the Negro Leagues. \nAnd while he doesn’t fashion himself to be a historian\, Kendrick has become one of the leading authorities on the topic of Negro Leagues Baseball history and its connection to issues relating to sports\, race and diversity. He has been a contributing writer for “Ebony Magazine” and the national Urban League’s “Opportunity Magazine.” \nImage: courtesy Bob Kendrick and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum

SUMMARY:How the Negro Leagues Changed the Game....and America Too!
DESCRIPTION:Join CMCH and our guest Bob Kendrick\, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum\, to learn about baseball and civil rights. The discussion will provide an overview of the history of the Negro Leagues and its great stars. It will also shed light on how America’s unsung baseball heroes (including longtime Connectican Jackie Robinson) would help usher in the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. \nSuggested donation: $6 for CMCH members\, $10 for non-members. Event will be streamed live on Crowdcast. You can register here. Questions? Email Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org. \nAbout our Speaker \nBob Kendrick was named President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM) in March 2011. Founded in 1990\, the NLBM is the world’s only museum dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich history of African-American baseball and its profound impact on the social advancement of America. \nKendrick’s appointment as President marked a celebrated return to the NLBM after a 13-month departure. He became the museum’s first Director of Marketing in 1998 and was named Vice President of Marketing in 2009 before accepting the post as Executive Director of the National Sports Center for the Disabled-Kansas City in 2010. \nKendrick began his association with the NLBM as a volunteer during his 10-year newspaper career with The Kansas City Star. Kendrick has been responsible for the creation of several signature museum educational programs and events including the Hall of Game which annually honors former Major League Baseball greats who played the game in the spirit and signature style of the Negro Leagues. \nAnd while he doesn’t fashion himself to be a historian\, Kendrick has become one of the leading authorities on the topic of Negro Leagues Baseball history and its connection to issues relating to sports\, race and diversity. He has been a contributing writer for “Ebony Magazine” and the national Urban League’s “Opportunity Magazine.” \nImage: courtesy Bob Kendrick and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum

SUMMARY:UPDATE: Canceled - Lunch and Learn: Sarah Harris: A Catalyst for Change in Antebellum Connecticut.
DESCRIPTION:*Update: Please note that this event has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you will join us for another upcoming program.* \nSarah Harris is the first African American to have integrated an all-white school in America. She wanted ‘a little more learning.” So she went to a white teacher\, Prudence Crandall\, and asked for permission to attend her day school. We know much about Crandall and her fight for equality in Connecticut\, but not a lot about her black students\, such as Sarah Harris. \nDr. Ann-Marie Adams\, a Scholar-in-Residence with the Connecticut Alliance for Better Communities\, Inc.\, is the first to popularize this query about Harris. She will discuss the nexus of race\, gender\, and education in Connecticut\, as well as the underpinnings of the contours and complexities of schooling in America. She will also look at those machinations and why those events allow for the obscurity of this historical event\, which undergirds all school desegregation cases in America. \nThis talk is taken from her ground-breaking scholarship about the full arc of the African-American experience in Connecticut from the colonial period to the twentieth century. The monograph was published in 2010 and is available at Howard University Book Store. It will be reprinted in 2021. \nDr. Adams’ dissertation\, earned with distinction\, is currently being edited for a book publisher. \nThis program is free. To secure a spot\, register HERE now. You’ll receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link\,\nand we’ll send you a reminder at 10:00 AM on the day of the program. \nBiography: \nDr. Ann Marie Adams is an award-winning journalist and historian. She is the founder of The Hartford Guardian\, the first nonprofit\, nonpartisan\, hyperlocal news publication in New England and the tristate area. The Hartford Guardian\, a four-day news site\, is published by the Connecticut Alliance for Better Communities\, Inc. established in 2002. It received its 501 c 3 nonprofit status in 2005 and is a trusted source for news and research in Connecticut and beyond. \nDr. Adams lives in Hartford\, Connecticut with her goldfish. \n\n  \nIf you would like to make a donation to help the CMCH keep history alive\, please click HERE. Or\, to learn about the benefits\nof museum membership\, click HERE! \nQuestions? Contact Jennifer Busa\, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, at jennifer_busa@chs.org.

SUMMARY:"The Work Must Be Done:" Women of Color and the Right to Vote
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the words of notable African American reformer and political activist\, Mary Townsend Seymour\, “The work must be done\,” the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History presents exciting new research about the women of color who worked for women’s suffrage. \nIlene Frank\, Chief Curator\, and Karen Li Miller\, Research Historian at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History\, with Professor Brittney Yancy\, Goodwin College\, will present new research about Connecticut’s women of color who were involved in the woman suffrage movement\, such as Mary Townsend Seymour\, Rose Payton\, Minnie Glover\, Daisy Daniels\, and others. The program will include conversation on the importance of having a history that is inclusive and participants will examine how this history ties into current civic issues around voting. \nProgram is included with museum admission. Free for CMCH members. Light refreshments will be served. Please let us know you’re coming by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. \nQuestions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org. \nABOUT THE PROJECT \nAs the nation\, and Connecticut\, prepare to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment which legalized women’s right to vote\, attention is growing about the critical need to identify and raise up the stories of the women of color who participated in the fight for suffrage and those who\, like their white counterparts\, were against the enfranchisement of women.  Historically\, research about the fight to win the right to vote has focused on the white women who were both for and against this act. Due to the internalized racism of many of the national and state-wide suffrage organizations\, women of color\, and particularly African American women\, were denied agency within these activist organizations. This does not mean that women of color were not involved in the fight for and against suffrage. They absolutely were. Women of color were active leaders who developed their own associations\, both nationwide and state-based\, to achieve social and political reforms\, including working for woman suffrage. \nThis presentation will also be offered at multiple locations and times around the state\, including: \nOtis Library\, Norwich (in partnership with Prudence Crandall Museum): Monday\, April 27\, 2020\, 6pm \nStonington Historical Society\, Stonington: Saturday\, May 9\, 2020\, 11am \nLitchfield Historical Society\, Litchfield :Thursday\, May 21\, 2020\, Noon \nLockwood-Mathews Mansion\, Norwalk: Thursday\, June 11\, 2020\, 5:30pm \nNew Haven Museum\, New Haven: Tuesday\, June 23\, 2020\, 5:30pm \nFunding for this project is made possible by the State of Connecticut and the National Endowment for the Humanities\, both of which provide significant support to Connecticut Humanities. \n \n  \nImage: Group of Women at Shiloh Baptist Church\, 1916-1927\, photograph by William G.

SUMMARY:The Reverse Underground Railroad: Slavery and Kidnapping in Pre-Civil War America
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk with Dr. Richard Bell\, the author of Stolen\, a new book that tells the incredible story of five boys whose courage forever changed the fight against slavery in America. \n Philadelphia\, 1825: five young\, free black boys fall into the clutches of the most fearsome gang of kidnappers and slavers in the United States. Lured onto a small ship with the promise of food and pay\, they are instead met with blindfolds\, ropes\, and knives. Over four long months\, their kidnappers drive them overland into the Cotton Kingdom to be sold as slaves. Determined to resist\, the boys form a tight brotherhood as they struggle to free themselves and find their way home. \nTheir ordeal—an odyssey that takes them from the Philadelphia waterfront to the marshes of Mississippi and then onward still—shines a glaring spotlight on the Reverse Underground Railroad\, a black market network of human traffickers and slave traders who stole away thousands of legally free African Americans from their families in order to fuel slavery’s rapid expansion in the decades before the Civil War. \nStolen will be available for purchase at the event and Dr. Bell will sign copies after the talk. \n$10 for CMCH members\, $15 for non-members. Light refreshments will be served. Please let us know you’re coming by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org. \nQuestions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org. \nAbout the Speaker \nRichard Bell (Ph.D. Harvard) is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland. His research interests focus on American history between 1750 and 1877. His published work includes We Shall Be No More: Suicide and Self-Government in the Newly United States (2012)\, and Buried Lives: Incarcerated in Early America (2012). Prof. Bell is also the author of several journal articles\, most recently in the Journal of the Early Republic\, Early American Literature\, Slavery and Abolition\, and History Compass. Prof. Bell has held research fellowships at more than a dozen libraries and institutes\, including the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery\, Abolition and Resistance at Yale University. He is also a frequent lecturer and debater on the C-Span television network. He is the recipient of more than a dozen teaching awards. \n  \nPhotography credit: Thai Nguyen

SUMMARY:The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution
DESCRIPTION:CHS is pleased to welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Eric Foner to deliver the first Woodward Lecture\, a new lecture series named after Charles Woodward\, a significant benefactor of the CMCH. \nDr. Foner was a historical consultant for the exhibition Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow. He will speak about his new book\, The Second Founding: How the Civil War and Reconstruction Remade the Constitution. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event. \nThe Second Founding is an authoritative story of the constitutional changes that built equality into the nation’s foundation. The Declaration of Independence announced equality as an American ideal\, but it took the Civil War and the subsequent adoption of three constitutional amendments to establish that ideal as American law. The Reconstruction amendments abolished slavery\, guaranteed due process and the equal protection of the law\, and equipped black men with the right to vote. The federal government\, not the states\, was put in charge of enforcement. By grafting the principle of equality onto the Constitution\, the amendments marked the second founding of the United States. \nFoner will relate the dramatic origins of these revolutionary amendments in citizen meetings and political negotiations\, explore the momentous court decisions that then narrowed and even nullified the rights guaranteed in these amendments. Today\, issues of birthright citizenship\, voting rights\, due process\, and equal protection are still in dispute\, the ideal of equality yet to be achieved. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. Please tell us you’re coming by emailing rsvp@chs.org or calling 860-236-5621 ex. 238. \nPresentation begins at 5:45. Doors open at 5:00; come early to view our exhibits! \nContact Adult Programs Manager Natalie Belanger with any questions at (860) 236-5621 x289\, or email natalie_belanger@chs.org. \nAbout the Speaker\nEric Foner\, DeWitt Clinton Professor Emeritus of History at Columbia University\, specializes in the Civil War and Reconstruction\, slavery\, and 19th-century America. He is one of only two persons to serve as President of the Organization of American Historians\, American Historical Association\, and Society of American Historians. He has also been the curator of several museum exhibitions\, including the prize-winning “A House Divided: America in the Age of Lincoln\,” at the Chicago Historical Society. His book\, The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery won the Pulitzer\, Bancroft\, and Lincoln prizes for 2011. His other books include Gateway to Freedom: The Hidden History of the Underground Railroad; Forever Free: The Story of Emancipation and Reconstruction; and Who Owns History? Rethinking the Past in a Changing World. He revised the presentation of American history at the Hall of Presidents at Disney World\, and Meet Mr. Lincoln at Disneyland\, and has served as consultant to several National Parks Service historical sites and historical museums. Foner has written for the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Los Angeles Times\, London Review of Books\, and many other publications\, and has appeared on numerous television and radio shows\, including Charlie Rose\, Book Notes\, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart\, The Colbert Report\, Bill Moyers Journal\, Fresh Air\, and All Things Considered\, and in historical documentaries on PBS and the History Channel. He has lectured extensively to both academic and non-academic audiences.

SUMMARY:"Not Exactly a Paradise": Fighting Segregation in Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:Most Americans associate civil rights protest with the 1950s and 1960s\, but by then black Americans had resisted oppression vigorously for generations. Our current exhibition\, Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow\, looks at segregation and resistance from 1865 to 1920. In this program\, we’ll take a closer look at how that played out in Connecticut. As a visiting minister said in a sermon at Shiloh Baptist Church in 1926\, life in the North\, while freer than the South\,  “was not exactly a paradise” for people of color.  We’ll look at archival documents\, newspaper accounts\, and photographs to learn about how Jim Crow manifested itself in our state\, and how people fought back. \nThis program is included with museum admission. Kindly RSVP at (860) 236-5621 x238 or by emailing rsvp@chs.org. \nImage: Group of Women at Shiloh Baptist Church\, Hartford\, CT\, 1916-1927\, CMCH 1995.36.1194
