SUMMARY:Inheriting Freedom: An Intergenerational Tour
DESCRIPTION:One tour\, two stories! Come learn about the Black abolitionist Frederick Douglass and the white anti-slavery author Harriet Beecher Stowe. We’ll explore their stories from the time they were young children until they became famous authors\, paying special attention to the importance of love\, family\, and education in their lives. Did you know that Frederick Douglass taught himself to read and write in secret as a child? Or that Douglass was aided in his extraordinary escape to freedom by his wife-to-be\, Anna Murray? Did you know that Harriet Beecher Stowe’s famous work of anti-slavery fiction\, Uncle Tom’s Cabin\, was directly inspired by Frederick Douglass and other Black activists of the 19th century? Our interactive\, conversation-based tour is designed to explore some of the hardest moments in U.S. history in an empowering\, age-appropriate way. Step back in time with us\, touch and hold historical objects and documents that help this history come alive\, and join in a conversation about how all of us have the power to create change. \n [Designed to be enjoyed by visitors ages 6 and above.]

SUMMARY:Stowe Prize Series: The Phillips Manuscript and "James: A Novel"
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\n77 Forest St\, Hartford | Zoom\n6:00 – 7:30 PM EST\, Presentation and audience Q&A\nRiverbend Bookshop: Get a 10% discount our Stowe Prize books! Mention us at check-out or use STOWEFORCHANGE for online purchases.\nWith gratitude to our funders for their support\n\n\nRegister to Attend in Person\nRegister to Attend Virtually\n\nDr. Chris Hager\, professor at Trinity College\, will discuss the role of writing and literacy in the life of Dr. Phillips as it relates to the creation of the manuscript in relation to or in conversation with these themes in the novel James. \n\nThe Stowe Prize Series continues with a powerful exploration of history\, storytelling\, and the enduring struggle for freedom. \nThis year\, we bring into conversation two remarkable works: the recently discovered Phillips Manuscript\, which documents the extraordinary life of Dr. William H. Phillips\, and Percival Everett’s award-winning novel James. The Phillips Manuscript will be on display at each gathering. \nBorn enslaved in Virginia in 1841\, Dr. Phillips went on to become a nationally respected minister at Shiloh Baptist Church in Philadelphia. His life touches on pivotal events of 19th-century America and illuminates the resilience\, courage\, and intellect of Black Americans before and after emancipation. His story resonates with the themes of Everett’s James\, which reframes the story of Huck Finn through the eyes of Jim. \nTogether\, these works invite us to reflect on the essential question:What is the role of storytelling and narrative in our understanding of history and our current culture?
