Glastonbury MLK Community Initiative (GMLKCI), in conjunction with the Historical Society of Glastonbury (HSG), present a free webinar via Zoom on February 24 at 7:00 pm Titled: Slavery & Abolition in Glastonbury, 1639-1865.

The webinar will feature Diane Hoover and Julie Thompson from the Historical Society of Glastonbury, who will share the findings of their research into slavery and abolition in Glastonbury, from colonial times through the Civil War. As part of a soon-to-open exhibit on this subject created by curator Lin Scarduzio at the Historical Society’s Museum on the Green, Diane and Julie have spent countless hours researching the lives of the African American people who lived in the town from colonial times to the mid-19th century.
