The lecture was held at the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum in Wethersfield, CT on June 19th, 2022.

John Mills’ lecture brings to light the largely untold story of Prince Mortimer while also evaluating the ripple effects of a past time. Mills traces his personal path in discovering his ties to slavery, what it revealed about himself, and the challenges he would eventually face in attempting to find the burial locations of his ancestors – marrying his own experiences and revelations to that of Connecticut’s Prince Mortimer.
