Hartford, Connecticut has undergone a profound demographic transformation to become an African American and Caribbean city. This talk will explore how the history of Black and Brown communities in the city can be leveraged to tell new stories by, for, and about these communities that are meaningful and relevant for making sense of the past and the present.
Please join us for an informative and compelling lecture.
