Creating A Culture of Honor

Due to the recent spikes in Covid-19 rates within CT, we have revised our community outreach this session to a limited number of participants. A ‘community drop-in’ and tour of our gallery will be accessible, including project highlights and ‘race and color’ resources that continue to build on these important themes. Books, memorabilia, and other critical information will be available on project topics –and visitors can pick up some light refreshments to enjoy during their tour. Catch up on what you missed or come back and share an interview on your What is Color? What is Race? experiences. We honor you and appreciate your contributions to our community!
