The Friends of Fort Trumbull to present a program on Prudence Crandall
On Thursday, May 27, 2021, the Friends of Fort Trumbull will present a program on Prudence Crandall, the Connecticut State Hero. Because of Covid-19, this program will be presented on Zoom as part of the Friends 2021 program on Women s Suffrage.
Many people know that Crandall established an early academy for African-American women in 1833; however, few realize that she also participated in the Woman Suffrage Movement and other social justice reforms after leaving Connecticut. Joan DiMartino will share how Crandall continued her activism years after her school closed, focusing on her work with women s rights. As Crandall once said, I venture to enlist in the ranks of those who…dare hold combat with prevailing iniquity.
