The issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 did not guarantee equal treatment and opportunities for those freed. In 1995, the General Assembly established the Connecticut Freedom Trail as a way to recognize African Americans’ and other minority populations’ fight for freedom and social equality in Connecticut and to mark sites that bear witness to milestones in that quest. Join Tammy Denease, the current outreach director of the Connecticut Freedom Trail, to learn about her experiences bringing historical sites to the CFT and the importance of preserving accurate and complete history.
