SUMMARY:Conversations at Noon on the the Connecticut Freedom Trail: Bringing the Freedom Trail to Life\, For Real!
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Connecticut Storyteller Andre LePelle Keitt  \nJoin us online to hear Andre\, also known as the Greatheart Griot\, tell the story of how he translated the adventures of the Mende captives of the slave schooner\, the Amistad from the page to the present! Currently\, Andre serves as the Consultant for Education and Programming at the Farmington Historical Society. In this role\, he has been tasked with bringing the trek of the freed Amistad Mende to life on a nine stop visit on the grounds of the Freedom Trail in Farmington. He also tells the story from the realistic perspective of the brown and black people who share in the heritage of said Mende men and children. \nAndre has asked some of his friends who are African Americans to portray and tell the story of the  Mende who found themselves free and visiting the abolitionist village of Farmington CT in 1841 after their landmark acquittal in one of America’s first Civil Rights cases. In his Conversation at Noon\, Andre tells the story about how he structured the new telling of the stories\, giving details of maneuvering the sensitivities of politics and education in this anti Critical Thinking America! \nThis event is free and open to the general public.

SUMMARY:The State's Filing Cabinet
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Connecticut State LibraryIn-person or online \nFeaturing:State Archivist Lizette Pelletier Digital Records Archivist Barbara AustenConnecticut governing bodies began producing documents as soon as settlers arrived in the early 1600s. The history of government record keeping from then until today is almost as fascinating as the information found within the documents themselves. In the first installment of The State’s Filing Cabinet series\, experts from Connecticut’s State Archives will take us on a journey through the history of recordkeeping in Connecticut.E-mails and Zoom meetings have largely replaced missives handwritten on paper with ink and quill pens.  From handmade inks and quills\, parchment\, and rag paper to the latest information technologies of the digital age\, we will discover how local and state government officials created and maintained records and the physical challenges of preserving historically significant information today. This event is free and open to the general public.
