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 Hempsted Houses. The Connecticut Landmarks house in New London, Connecticut, will be using the Project’s curriculum and landscape markers to expand their teaching of the history of slavery in Connecticut.
The mission of Connecticut Landmarks is to use historic properties to inspire an understanding of our complex past.
