Our Operations Manager, Victoria Meskill, recently represented Discovering Amistad at the Democracy 250 Summit, hosted by U.S. Senator Chris Murphy at Connecticut’s Old State House. As we approach the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, this timely event brought together historians and leaders to examine the past, present, and future of democracy in our state and nation.

Key Highlights:
The History: A deep dive into Connecticut's democratic roots with insights from Dr. Matthew Warshauer (CCSU) and Dr. Katherine Hermes (Connecticut Explored).
The Future: A dynamic discussion addressing the current state and upcoming challenges of our democratic institutions.

For Discovering Amistad, participating in these vital conversations ensures that diverse historical truths and the legacy of civil rights remain at the very heart of our collective future.
