SUMMARY:Conversations at Noon on the CT Freedom Trail: The Amistad Affair
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Event – register here: \nIn 1839 Connecticut’s Old State House was the site of the first of the famous Amistad trials. The trials grabbed international headlines\, but after the US Supreme Court resolved the case in 1841\, the story faded from collective memory. In1997\, Steven Spielberg reintroduced the dramatic Amistad incident to the world\, sparking new interest among historians\, educators\, and the public. Since then\, new research has shed light on the story and corrected some of the omissions and errors in the public’s knowledge.  \nTammy Denease\, Connecticut Freedom Trail Outreach Director\, has studied the life journey of Margu\, one of four children held captive on the Amistad. Tammy will share her remarkable story through a first-person recorded portrayal of Margu. Charles Warner\, Jr.\, Chair of the CT Freedom Trail\, will then lead a discussion with Tammy and Adrienne Joy Burns\, who has studied the history of enslavement in New Haven with a focus on the Pardee-Morris House.  \nThis discussion will focus on facts surrounding the Amistad Incident that were not included in the 1997 Steven Spielberg film.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: 100% Democracy: The Case for Universal Voting
DESCRIPTION:Today’s headlines are filled with arguments over restrictions on the right to vote and attempts to expand it. Miles Rapoport\, formerly CT’s Secretary of State and E.J. Dionne\, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute\, advocate for making a commitment to a ‘100% Democracy’\, an election process where every citizen has the right to vote and full opportunities to do so—but also the duty to vote\, a requirement to participate in our national choices.Join Rapoport and Dionne (who will be joining us virtually) for an in-person discussion about their new book\, 100% Democracy: The Case for Universal Voting. The program will be moderated by CT Secretary of the State\, Denise Merrill and kicks off Book Talks\, a new program series at Connecticut’s Old State House.The U.S. lags behind other democracies\, with only 66.8% of eligible voters participating in the record-turnout election of 2020 while twenty-six countries around the world require participation in elections. Australia\, for instance\, has required citizens to cast a ballot since 1924 and had over 90% voter turnout in their last major election. Rapoport and Dionne ask: if Americans must pay taxes and serve on juries\, why not ask—or require—every American to vote? Is it time for the United States to take a major leap forward and recognize voting as both a fundamental civil right and a solemn civic duty?The program will be followed by a book-signing and light refreshments. Program co-sponsored by Everyday Democracy.  Click here to register

SUMMARY:Conversations at Noon: The Legacy of the Canterbury Female Boarding School
DESCRIPTION:Online Event … Join Joanie DiMartino\, Curator of the Prudence Crandall Museum\, for a thought-provoking presentation on the successes and legacy of the Canterbury Female Boarding School\, a groundbreaking school for young African American girls that found itself on the forefront of civil rights in the early nineteenth century.  \nIn 1832\, Prudence Crandall\, the white principal of the Canterbury Female Boarding School\, was approached by a young Black woman named Sarah Harris asking to attend the academy. When residents protested the school’s integration and parents threatened to withdraw their daughters\, Crandall closed her school and reopened in 1833 for non-white students\, welcoming students from several other states as well. Connecticut responded by passing the “Black Law\,” which prevented out-of-state Black students from attending school in Connecticut towns without local town approval. Crandall was arrested\, spent a night in jail\, and faced three court trials before the case was dismissed. In September 1834\, a nighttime mob attack closed the school. \nYears later\, many former students became nationally-renown educators and reformers. The case of Crandall v. State of Connecticut impacted two U.S. Supreme Court cases and a Constitutional Amendment. This talk will focus on the lives of several of the students after they left Canterbury\, and the legal significance of the Crandall v. State decision.  \nPlease register here: https://forms.gle/4Gj1RsfpQF7b2j8c8 \nWatch on Facebook Live: https://fb.me/e/1rUQ6ToY8

SUMMARY:Conversations at Noon: The Importance of Venture Smith
DESCRIPTION:  Join a lively panel of Connecticut-based historians as they discuss the fascinating life and legacy of Venture Smith\, one of the very few enslaved people who left behind a first-person account of their experience. \nVenture Smith’s autobiography\, “A Narrative of the Life and Adventures of Venture\, a Native of Africa: But Resident above Sixty Years in the United States of America. Related by Himself ” was published in New London\, Connecticut in 1798. Venture Smith was freed in the 1860s\, and went on to become a successful Connecticut landowner and businessman. \nToday’s panel will include Elizabeth Norman of CT Explored\,  Elizabeth Wood\, Executive Director of the Stonington Historical Society\, and Dr. Karl Stofco\, East Haddam town historian and expert on the Venture Smith family genealogy. \nDr. Stofko will describe how he started Venture Smith Day more than 25 years ago\, and how the annual fall event in East Haddam has grown each year to include new scholarship and newly discovered descendants.  \nElizabeth Wood will discuss the new permanent exhibition about Smith at the Lighthouse Museum in Stonington\, which incorporates new research and findings from an archaeological dig at a site nearby where Smith was enslaved.  \nElizabeth Norman will talk about making Smith’s published life story (1798) accessible to teachers and elementary and middle school students\, so they may engage more honestly in the history of the founding of Connecticut.  \nFree Event \nPlease register here: https://bit.ly/CFTVentureSmith
