Hartford Black History Project: A Struggle From the Start
This in-depth look at African Americans in Hartford, Conn., from 1638 through the 20th century offers a view of slavery, emancipation, and the formation of a black community in New England. Among the topics covered are immigration, legal matters, abolitionist efforts, the so-called black governors (black individuals "co-opted" to help whites maintain control over the Black communities), and black military and political participation. From Hartford Web Publishing.
