  • Family Activity Kits – New Theme!

    Family Activity Kits are free take-home resources for families to enjoy, bringing history and fun together in the comfort of your own home! With themes changing every other month, you can enjoy these kits all year long. January-February’s theme is “Creating Culture in Connecticut." Here in CT, we have many different black communities that celebrate their culture- and they all do it differently. Learn about black communities from Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Georgia and more, that all bring their traditions to our state.
