The residents of Hartford\u2019s Charter Oak Terrace confronted a water-based ecological catastrophe in the 1960s. A flooding river\u2014channeled by municipal neglect, class inequality, and racial segregation\u2014drowned several children. The neighborhood\u2019s mothers forged the Association of Concerned Parents of Charter Oak (ACP) and demanded that the city halt the nearby highway construction that propelled the river\u2019s overflow. Dr. Miller will excavate the unwritten history of the Black women-led ACP and chronicle an early rendering of a local environmental justice movement.<\/p>\n<p>This event is FREE and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>For more information or to inquire about special accommodations please call(860) 522-6766.<\/p>\n<p>To reserve your seat, click here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/bit.ly\/HartfordHistory2024&amp;sa=D&amp;source=calendar&amp;ust=1727623669769329&amp;usg=AOvVaw1bK4M5HCshZgXoM1pO9jnS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/HartfordHistory2024<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>The 2024 Hartford History Lecture series is supported by funding through CT Humanities in alignment with the America 250 | CT Commission.
