We received the Historic Preservation Award from the Connecticut Daughters of the American Revolution. Approximately 5,000 soldiers of African heritage served in the Continental Army and Patriot militias during the American Revolutionary War. We are working to remember them.
We're excited to announce that Karla Spurlock-Evans has joined our Board of Directors. Her deep experience as a scholar and academic administrator will help us connect with our students and community groups as we strive to tell a more complete history of our communities.
Three Witness stones — for Town, Coffee and Onesimus,— will be included in “Unnamed Figures’ highlights Black presence and absence in early American history. gazettenet.com/Unnamed-Figure…

As bad as things have been over the last 12 years, the CCSU fan base—compared to a place like Sacred Heart (above)—ALWAYS shows up. That cannot be underestimated. #DetrickDiehards
CCSU gave people working class people like my dad and me the opportunity to earn a college degree and better life. I’ve been going to Detrick Gym for 40 years. Feels like home. During that magical ’06-07 season my son was 6 and we went to almost every home game…..

I’ve never seen this colorized photo before. I love everything about it. A U.S. Marine corporal sleeping at Union Station in 1948. At this point, Black men had only been allowed to serve in the Marines for the past six years which means this Marine served at Montford Point in NC.

7/ For far too long, we ignored the enslaved who helped build our communities. The work schools across CT—and elsewhere—are doing with Witness Stones is a small, but important step to restore the lives and honor the humanity of those enslaved people.
