Glastonbury Celebrates Black History: Connecticut's African American Heroines

African Americans have played a major role in the development of our state, our nation and our world. African American women from Connecticut are no exception! Join us for an interactive multi-media program by the Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame and learn about some of Connecticut's most remarkable African American heroines.

From women's rights advocate Maria Miller Stewart and legendary contralto and Civil Rights catalyst Marian Anderson to pioneering journalist Adrianne Baughns-Wallace and former State Treasurer Denise L. Nappier, you'll be inspired as we explore the important contributions of African American women in Connecticut.

The RCC/Senior Center, Welles Turner Memorial Library, and Glastonbury Historical Society are proud to co-sponsor this special series in honor of Black History Month. Join us for engaging programs that explore the rich history, culture, and contributions of Black Americans.
