I met with Denis Caron!

Research
Written By John Mills

I just had an amazing phone call with Denis Caron, the writer of the 2006 book on Prince Mortimer's life, "A Century in Captivity"!!!

Mr. Caron provided me with some great leads towards furthering my research into Prince; I plan to follow up on them all! He also let me know that he is open to help in any way he can. He said he would like to be there if/when there is a ceremony to introduce any new marker in celebration of Prince Mortimer's life. He just gave me a renewed energy! Isn't God good?!?! LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!

John Mills

Originally from San Diego, John Mills is a technologist by trade, but an equity advocate and independent scholar by passion. The descendant of both southern and northern enslaved, John focuses on unearthing little known people and stories of this country’s history in slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. John presents research through the lens and perspective of a descendant, with intent to inspire understanding and empathy, a means to inspire good, God fearing people, now armed with information, to look into whether they may be unwittingly aligning to biases resulting from the reverberating effects of a past time. John is a member of the Connecticut Freedom Trail and a member of the Webb Deane Stevens Museum Council. John is also working with an international team funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) in an effort to deliver transformational impact on digital methods in cultural institutions...a means to decolonize museums. Finally, John is working with the state of Connecticut, business leaders and scholars in Middletown, CT to honor and memorialize a former enslaved individual by the name of Prince Mortimer.
