SUMMARY:Conversations at Noon: Reclaiming Patriotism in an Age of Extremes
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Steven B. Smith\, the Alfred Cowles Professor of Political Science and professor of philosophy at Yale University \nJoin us in conversation with Dr. Steven B. Smith as he examines the concept “Patriotism” as a virtue in line with the core values of democracy and an expression of belonging\, loyalty\, and pride. What does it mean to be a patriot? Every day it feels like the country is more and more divided on critical issues. Everything has become politicized\, even what it means to be an American. What is our emotional relationship to our nation? How have our feelings of Patriotism changed? And how can we reclaim those feelings to bring the country together again? \nRegister Here: https://bit.ly/OSH2023Patriotism

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

SUMMARY:ENCOUNTERS: Amistad: Artistic Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:In 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. \nWhy does history so often become art? The bravery and eventual victory of the Amistad Africans has been immortalized in the history books. But long before historians began to examine the Amistad saga\, artists had already claimed the story in their own work. From contemporary portraits of the Africans to modern day stage performances\, artists have told us the story of Amistad from diverse and unique perspectives. What can these works tell us about how we remember history? How does a historical event become a piece of art? Join us for an informed and collaborative exploration of these fascinating questions! This program is a partnership with The Human Rights Institute at UConn.           \nEncounters programs dive deep into subjects through facilitated\, small-group dialogues followed by a question-and-answer style conversation with our UConn faculty and community partners. Resources are provided beforehand to encourage informed and informal dialogue. The aim is to develop a forum for respectful and challenging dialogue\, followed by a communal meal and coffee. \n \nRegister:http://s.uconn.edu/amistad
