Registered as a publication on June 15, 1832, “The Narraganset Chief” emerged—seemingly without much fanfare—between the establishment of the New England Anti-Slavery Society (January 1, 1832) and the New York Anti-Slavery Society (January 1, 1833). While it chronicles the “wandering” life of the author, the book relates his earliest experience of racism and discrimination, and later, his participation on a slave ship in which living enslaved people were thrown overboard to avoid capture by an anti-slaving patrol. The speakers will discuss the original narrative, woven together with archival research and historical context to illuminate the lives and experiences of three generations of one family from 1760 to 1832. false

      Jethro Luke was a key builder of Yale in the 18th century, along with others in family, though his role and that of other enslaved and free Black people here has only recognized in recent years. Enslaved in the household of James Pierpont, a founding trustee of Yale, Luke would, as a free man, be one of New Haven's earliest Black property owners. He and his son were instrumental to the construction of Connecticut Hall, as one example of the family's part in this community. Knowing the Luke family and their circles is essential to knowing the full and true history of Yale and of New Haven, a history that includes extensive involvement by New Haven and Yale leaders in racial slavery.

Dr. Allen Hilton We’ve reached a moment in history when the world needs Jesus-followers to be ONE Body. As social ties fray and break around politics and other divisive forces, as loneliness becomes epidemic, we do well to hear and heed the apostle Paul’s prescriptions for the divided Corinthian church. Among Paul’s letters, 1 Corinthians gives us the clearest picture of daily life in a first-century church. In it, we may just see ourselves — and our way forward as Christ’s body. Join Rev. Dr. Allen Hilton as he opens this fascinating epistle with us. The nine sessions will occur on January 13, 20, 27, February 3, 10, 17, 24, March 3, and 10. After attending all nine sessions, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion. Online — 409 Prospect Street false
