Conversation Club at the Stanley-Whitman House

WSP · Jun 1, 2024 ·

Join the Stanley-Whitman House as they welcome guest Witness Stones Project Director of Operations Liz Lightfoot for a workshop that will take participants through an intro to the history of slavery in Connecticut and then a discussion of the five themes developed by Dennis Culliton, Founder of Witness Stones Project. Then, explore/interpret documents related to the enslavement of Pharaoh/Pharo/Robin by enslaver John Stanley as evidenced by a bill of sale, a primary source document, from the archives of Stanley-Whitman House. Lightfoot has done some preliminary research into his “seller” and “purchaser” and has some thought- and question-provoking details to have attendees begin to unpack, including additional information about others enslaved by the same individuals.
