SUMMARY:Conversations at Noon on The Connecticut Freedom Trail: "Lessons of the Amistad: Through the lens of an African-Centered Woman"
DESCRIPTION:Third in a limited series: The Amistad Trilogy. \nIn 1839\, 53 captive Africans rebelled aboard the Spanish schooner La Amistad. They took over the ship\, but were captured by the US Navy in Long Island Sound and taken into custody. They then allied with local abolitionists in Connecticut to fight for their freedom through the US court system\, and ultimately won. Over 150 years later\, the Connecticut legislature established the CT Freedom Trail. Its mission is documenting and designating sites that embody the struggle toward freedom and human dignity\, and celebrating the accomplishments of the state’s Black and African American communities. The story of the Amistad is one of the most famous stories along the CT Freedom Trail. \nJoin us for the Connecticut Freedom Trail’s upcoming Amistad Trilogy. This series of programs will dive into the legacy of the Amistad saga in Connecticut and beyond. Explore some of the lesser known or untold sides of the story\, and discover the countless ways the Amistad is remembered today! \nEpisode 3:  Lessonsof the Amistad: Through the lens of an African-Centered Woman \nDiscovering Amistad is a nonprofit educational organization that owns and operates the Amistad Freedom Schooner\, a 129 feet re-creation of the original ship. Discovering Amistad teaches the lessons of the 1839 Amistad Uprising to advance racial and social justice today. The schooner is Connecticut’s flagship and serves as a floating classroom for children of all ages. The Amistad is a national treasure\, and the only tall ship that is a monument to freedom.  \nPaula Mann-Agnew\, Executive Director of Discovering Amistad\, will explore specific themes of the 1839 Amistad story that are still prominent and relevant today. Special emphasis will be made on resiliency\, freedom\, self-awareness and activism. She will share insight and cultural relevance through her African-Centered female experience. Information will also be shared about the programs of Discovering Amistad and the 2023 itinerary for ship tours through Connecticut and New York.           \nRegister: https://bit.ly/CFT2023LessonsoftheAmistad
