The Fisk Jubilee Singers are Coming Back to Connecticut!

Memorial
Written By John Mills

FYI...THE FISK JUBILEE SINGERS JUST CONFIRMED!!!!  I'll be signing the contract later today, which means we are on for February 4, 2027!!!!! YAY!!!

Erica and I did a walk through at South Congregational Church.  We spoke with their sound engineer.  Everything is in place to meet the Fisk Jubilee Singers' rider, so we are good to go!!!

The work now is to raise the final funds. Over the past week, we've raised an additional $1,450.  That brings our total raised to $15,625. Our total need is $25,800, which means our remaining need is $10,175. 

I meet with Sustainable CT on Thursday, August 20, but please continue to donate if you can at https://alexbreanne.org/fisk.

Thanks again for all of your help!  IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!

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.
