Join us on Wednesday, February 24th for a special presentation by a teacher and students! Over the past academic year, history teacher Rhonan Mokriski and his students at the Salisbury School began a project-based learning course in public history focused on uncovering the lives of free and enslaved African American families in northwestern Connecticut. The class, entitled Searching for Slavery in Northwest Connecticut gave the students and Mr. Mokriski an opportunity to discover and share the contributions people of color have made to the building of communities and how by reviewing our local histories and incorporating these stories, we can continue to build a more inclusive community.
