SUMMARY:The Work Must Be Done
DESCRIPTION:The Aurora Foundation and CMCH are partnering to present “The Work Must Be Done\,” highlighting the activism of women of color in Connecticut in the early 20th century.

Spaces are limited. Click here to register. \nQuestions? Contact Adult Program Manager Natalie Belanger at Natalie_Belanger@chs.org. \nAbout our Partner \nThe Aurora Women and Girls Foundation has a deep history of making investments which improve outcomes for women and girls in greater Hartford. Since 2000\, Aurora has invested $1 million in women and girl in our community\, with a more recent focus on getting more women their college degrees. Aurora also conducts research and convenes the community to promote understanding of gender issues and fosters collaboration for effective solutions.

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  \n

SUMMARY:Do You Believe in Magic?
DESCRIPTION:Join us via Zoom to learn about the tales of witchcraft and dark magic that haunted some veterans’ memories of the Revolutionary War. Our presenter is Robert Selig\, an independent scholar of the Revolutionary War. \nDogs that would not bark\, horses that walked on fences – or not at all\, women who turned into cats at night\, spells that protected you and your house against fire: the believe in the existence of witches\, witchcraft\, and Black Magic was widespread in late eighteenth-century America. Sometimes these powers were employed as “white magic” for benevolent purposes\, but more often they helped carry out evil intentions\, were employed in “black magic”\, or at least were interpreted as such. Sometimes these powers were even employed in the cause of American Independence\, sometimes against it. \nAs the veterans of the war passed away in the 1830s and 40s\, and with them the whole Revolutionary War generation\, the generation of their children and grandchildren rushed to preserve the memories of that war. The best-known source of oral history are the pension applications veterans filled out in the years after 1818 and in much greater numbers after the federal pension law of 1832\, but concurrently interviewers from Bennington\, Vermont\, to Chester\, South Carolina\, and many places in-between visited civilians in their homes to ask the elderly about what they remembered or had heard from their parents or grandparents about life in Revolutionary America. It is in these oral history accounts and traditions that many\, or most\, of the tales of witches and witchcraft are found. \nThe cost of admission is $6 per household. To register\, click here. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nRobert A. Selig is an independent historical consultant and author who serves as project historian to the National Park Service for the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail. \nImage credit: Library of Congress
