Join the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History to explore the Connecticut event that had a national impact on the rising tensions leading up to the Civil War.
Investigate the dramatic 1839 story of 53 Africans, who were kidnapped from their homeland, enslaved, and fought a legal battle in the U.S. that allowed them to return home.
