A panel of experts talks about efforts to uncover long-ignored stories and recalibrate our understanding of Connecticut’s historical involvement with slavery. Former State Representative Pat Wilson Pheanious, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Witness Stones Project, Inc., shares her family’s story in Connecticut Public’s new series Unforgotten: Connecticut’s Hidden History of Slavery; Akeia de Barros Gomes, Senior Curator of Maritime Social Histories at the Mystic Seaport Museum previews the upcoming exhibition Entwined: Freedom, Sovereignty and the Sea; and Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Blight discusses the new book Yale and Slavery: A History. Panelists will talk about the projects and explore big questions that have led to this moment. Moderated by Diane Orson, Special Correspondent with Connecticut Public. Refreshments will be available at the start of the event.
