In collaboration with the Connecticut League of History Organization, the Norwich Historical Society is sponsoring a free virtual winter lecture series based on topics from our Walk Norwich Trail system (walknorwich.org). The four-part lecture series is from January to April and is free and open to the public. The lectures will be recorded and available on our website and social media platforms for on-demand viewing. In honor of Black History month, our second lecture will focus on topics from the Norwich Freedom Trail. Kerima Lewis will present the lecture: The Reign of Black Governors in Norwich, Connecticut, and Beyond. This talk will discuss a tradition that emerged in Colonial New England during the 18th century when enslaved Africans elected their own kings and governors when denied basic liberties including the right to vote. Many of these elected Black officials were African royalty and heirs to a throne in their homeland.
