The Witness Stones Project, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to restore the history and honor the humanity of the enslaved individuals who helped build our communities, today announced a new affiliation with Branford Public Schools and the Branford Historical Society. The schools and society will be using the Project’s curriculum and landscape markers to expand their teaching of the history of slavery in Connecticut.
The mission of Branford Public Schools is to support the students of Branford through efficient and effective allocation of resources and by providing a spectrum of top-quality ancillary services necessary to sustain a contemporary program of public education.
The mission of the Branford Historical Society is to discover and preserve the history of Branford, Connecticut, by the acquisition and preservation of artifacts, documents, and records of Branford provenance, and to actively promote Branford’s history to the community.
