On June 19, 2025 at 3pm, John Mills will be giving a talk during the Juneteenth celebration at Mystic Seaport!

During his presentation, Mills will delve into the Black experience in Connecticut, prior to and leading up to Juneteenth. Mills will also discuss his own family history of enslavement, how it impacted him, and his research into past enslaved individuals in Connecticut. John will highlight the experiences of some of his research subjects. 

We will provide a registration link once one is available. Hope to see you there!
