I hope you can join local leaders and me at West Hartford's 4th Annual Black History Month Breakfast at the Noah Webster Library on Thursday, February 26th, from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The event will include a meaningful and engaging conversation with local community leaders whose stories and service have helped shape West Hartford.

 

This year’s program will explore the history that informs our present, highlighting the MLK39 Racial Equity Mural at the Noah Webster Library along with the Town’s Juneteenth and Caribbean Heritage Month celebrations, honoring the powerful role of history, arts, and culture in advancing equity and strengthening community connection.
 
Panelists will also include myself along with former Town Council member Judy Casperson, who is featured on the mural. We'll be joined by Matt Conway, Executive Director of Rise Up Group and creator of the MLK39 Racial Equity Mural, who will share insight into its vision, meaning, and impact. 

Also joining the conversation are Carol Blanks, former Town Council and Board of Education member and organizer of West Hartford’s Caribbean Heritage Month Celebration, and Adrienne Billings-Smith, former Town Council member and organizer of the Town’s Juneteenth celebration.
