SUMMARY:Witches in Connecticut
DESCRIPTION:The harrowing story of the hanging of witches in Colonial New England continues to haunt our present-day imagination. The trials and executions of witches in Connecticut predated the more famous Salem witch panic by over 40 years. Join CMCH staff online via Zoom to hear the stories of some of the women and men accused\, tried\, and executed as witches.  You’ll learn how Connecticut successfully controlled the spread of witch accusations long before Salem erupted in panic and violence. \nRegister here. We’re offering this program for free\, but we’d appreciate it if you’d make a $6 donation to support public programs at CMCH! \nWhen you register\, you will get an email with an attached receipt with the Zoom link in it.  We will also send you a reminder with the link at noon on the day of the program. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Revolver: Sam Colt and the Six-Shooter That Changed America
DESCRIPTION:This event has passed\, but you can watch a recording here! \nCHS is pleased to welcome journalist and author Jim Rasenberger to deliver this year’s Charles Guilford Woodward Lecture. \nIn Revolver: Sam Colt and The Six-Shooter That Changed America\, Jim Rasenberger — author of The Brilliant Disaster: JFK\, Castro\, and America’s Doomed Invasion of Cuba’s Bay of Pigs — presents the first major biography of the inventor who introduced repeating firearms to the world. With Colt’s revolver\, one could for the first time shoot multiple bullets from a gun without reloading — a revolutionary mechanism that would help spark the American Industrial Revolution and speed the settlement of the West. \nBefore his untimely death at 47\, Colt had built a vast consumer empire comparable to those of Henry Ford\, Walt Disney\, and Steve Jobs\, and his revolver had helped mold the country politically and industrially for generations to come. It was also responsible for some of the most brutal violence in the years before\, during and after the Civil War\, particularly against Native Americans in the West. \nThe Washington Post has praised the book\, saying\, “It overflows with relentless ambition\, energy\, entrepreneurship\, ingenuity and wealth\, and with deceit\, fraud\, jingoism and murder.” \nThe material for the book was largely drawn from the Samuel Colt Papers at the CMCH. In fact\, Mr. Rasenberger\, who has been a familiar face in the Waterman Research Center over the last few years\, will be donating a copy of his notes and bibliography to the CMCH to help further future scholarship about Colt. \nFREE for CMCH members\, $10 for non-members. This event will take place online via Crowdcast. Click here to register. \nAbout the Author \nJim Rasenberger is the author of The Brilliant Disaster: JFK\, Castro\, and America’s Doomed Invasion of Cuba’s Bay of Pigs and High Steel: The Daring Men Who Built the World’s Greatest Skyline. He has written for The New York Times\, Vanity Fair\, Smithsonian\, and The Wilson Quarterly\, among other publications. Rasenberger has also written for film and television\, including a treatment of High Steel that was adapted as an ABC pilot (Empire State).

SUMMARY:The Dark Treason of Benedict Arnold
DESCRIPTION:Join us online with our guest\, University of Maryland historian Richard Bell\, as he reconstructs the life and times of Benedict Arnold\, the reasons for his treason\, and the larger problems of betrayal and desertion that dogged the Continental Army throughout the war. \nBenedict Arnold is the most famous turncoat in American history. He was a skilled officer in George Washington’s Continental Army\, a general who led patriot forces to several important victories over the British\, including the capture of Fort Ticonderoga. But while in command at West Point in 1780\, Arnold began secretly communicating with British intelligence agents\, giving them insider information\, not just about the fort and its defenses\, but about American strategy for the war. \nWhen patriot militia captured a British spy named John André\, they discovered Arnold’s treachery—Alexander Hamilton said it was “the blackest treason” he could imagine. A manhunt ensued\, but Arnold made it to the safety of a British ship (the aptly named Vulture). In the aftermath\, George Washington had John André\, the British spy tried. A board of Continental soldiers found him guilty and sentenced him to death by hanging. In the meantime\, Arnold returned to the field of battle. Now wearing a British uniform\, he led brutal attacks on patriot civilian communities in Virginia and Connecticut throughout 1781. \nThis program will take place online using Zoom. Click here to register. $8 per household. \nWhen you register\, you’ll receive a confirmation email. The Zoom link will be in the attached .pdf. We will also email you a reminder with the link the day of the program/ \nQuestions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org. \nAbout Our Speaker \n \nDr. Richard Bell is Professor of History at the University of Maryland. He holds a PhD from Harvard University and has won more than a dozen teaching awards\, including the University System of Maryland Board of Regents Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching. He has held major research fellowships at Yale\, Cambridge\, the Library of Congress and is the recipient of the Andrew Carnegie Fellowship and the National Endowment of the Humanities Public Scholar Award. Professor Bell is author of the new book Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and their Astonishing Odyssey Home\, which was shortlisted for the George Washington Prize and the Harriet Tubman Prize.

SUMMARY:Maanudam Parai Team Virtual Concert
DESCRIPTION:Join us and the Maanudam Parai Team for our third and final virtual concert on September 24 at 7:00PM! Chat with fellow concert-goers during the YouTube Concert Premiere at: https://youtu.be/cgQi66-RhWM. \nThe country of India is home to many rich regional cultures\, ethnicities\, and languages. Tamil language and culture have ancient roots in India’s state of Tamil Nadu as well as neighboring Sri Lanka. We are fortunate to have a vibrant Tamil community here in Connecticut. Spread across the state\, this cultural community keeps ties with teachers in Tamil Nadu and the United States. They work together to invigorate their cultural heritage art forms\, including Bharathaanaatiyam classical dance\, Villupaattu storytelling\, and Tamil folk dance like Kummi\, Kaavadi\, and Karagam. One of the most important art forms is playing parai\, a frame drum played with two sticks. \nThis third virtual concert features the Maanudam Parai Team (maanudam means “humanity”)\, along with performers from within Connecticut’s Tamil community. They also share the generous contributions of teachers and scholars who richly contextualize the history of parai drumming and the political position they take by embracing and promoting parai at this moment in time. \nThis concert series is made possible with generous funding from the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee. Additional program support comes from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Connecticut Office of the Arts/DECD\, and the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History. \nTo learn more about Maanudam Parai\, see: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010615869906
