SUMMARY:Encounters: Voting Rights and Access in our Democracy
DESCRIPTION:The principle and practice of popular election lies at the very heart of American democracy. But who gets to vote for our political leaders? The answer to that question has changed over the years here in Connecticut. Originally\, voting was limited to men of property. The 1818 State Constitution then added the word “white” in describing eligible voters. Not until the passage of the 15th Amendment could Connecticut men of color vote again.  Women had to wait until 1920 and ratification of the 19th Amendment to gain that same right. Even for those who had access to the polls\, the process could be complicated. For instance\, Connecticut required literacy tests of voters between 1855 and 1970. Current national debates about voting reveal ongoing questions and differences of opinion. Join us for this structured conversation on voting rights and access\, a subject vital to the state’s past\, present and future. Register here:  https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83193482916 Co-Sponsored with UConn’s HuUman Rights Institute\, Hartford HIistory Center at Hartford Public Library\, the Amistad Center for Culture and History\,  Wadsworth Atheneum\, and Akomawt Educational Initiative .

SUMMARY:Shade Tobacco Stories: Land\, Labor\, and Immigration in the Connecticut Tobacco Valley by Fiona Vernal\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:In 1910 after many experiments\, shade tobacco supplanted broadleaf to become the dominant crop in the Connecticut River Valley. It’s aroma\, texture\, burn\, and size help to create a boutique industry that became an important part of Connecticut lore and romance. Whether they were students recruited from historically black colleges or along the eastern seaboard\, West Indians and Puerto Ricans from the Caribbean\, or local day haul and summer workers\, tobacco culture touched many lives. Netting\, planting\, weeding\, harvesting\, and sewing tobacco brought men and men\, youth\, and immigrants together in the field and the sheds. Join us for a look at what this premium brand tells us about the role of tobacco in the history of land use\, labor\, and immigration in the Greater Hartford region and the Connecticut River valley. \nRegister for the Livestream: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/163586699303019/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A%7D  \nRegister to Attend In-Person: \nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUkmuGxytKRiPN9R2QDg6xqWQlSa0s7cJKgl9h4yqyLOI6Mg/viewform

SUMMARY:Hartford Public High School: the First Fifty Years by R.J. Luke Williams
DESCRIPTION:The Hartford Grammar School\, which had a long history dating back to the school started by Thomas Hooker in 1638\, was the secondary school for young men in Hartford until 1847. In that year\, school leaders\, influenced by the ideas of Henry Barnard\, himself a graduate of the HGS\, decided to bring together the English Course of the First District School and the Classical Course of the HGS and rename the school the “Hartford Public High School\,” but it was also called the “English and Classical High School.” It was “public” in the sense that both men and women could enroll. It was a bold move\, preceded by much agitation\, but it made Hartford stand out as urbane\, cosmopolitan\, and progressive. This presentation will explore what HPHS was about in the early years: the composition of the student body\, the curriculum\, and its governance. Many students attended colleges and achieved prominence and influence as adults\, especially in the city of Hartford. \nRegister for the Live Stream: https://www.facebook.com/events/3102247090098446/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A%7D \nRegister in-Person: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUkmuGxytKRiPN9R2QDg6xqWQlSa0s7cJKgl9h4yqyLOI6Mg/viewform
