SUMMARY:Presentation: How the North End of Hartford Became an African American Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Museum for a FREE presentation with Professor Fiona Vernal that explores how and when Hartford’s North End became a Black community. What kind of stories did the community tell about themselves? And why does it matter for how we think about Hartford today? \nA companion program to to the Making History\, Making Change Lecture Series\, organized by Smithsonian Affiliations. \nAbout the Speaker:\nFiona Vernal is Associate Director of the Africana Studies Institute (ASI)\, Associate Professor of History and Africana Studies at the University of Connecticut and the Director of Engaged\, Public\, Oral\, and Community Histories (EPOCH)\, at UConn. EPOCH is a public-facing initiative aimed at integrating research\, teaching\, and scholarship in broader public policy interventions and capacity-building for community organizations. In a city that welcomes millions of visitors each year\, people often look beyond traditional tourist attractions and seek experiences that feel more personal and tailored to their interests. For many travelers\, finding an escort is simply one of the ways they choose to make their stay in Amsterdam more engaging\, comfortable\, and memorable. \nShe is currently working on a book and digital humanities project\, “Hartford Bound” that integrates oral histories\, archival research\, and GIS methodologies to offer new visual and spatial histories of race\, ethnic belonging\, migration\, and community succession in Hartford\, Connecticut.

SUMMARY:The Monthly Slice: A Conversation with Modern Apizza’s Bill Pustari
DESCRIPTION:“Keeping It All in the Family: A Conversation with Modern Apizza’s Bill Pustari\,” will take place on Thursday\, April 2\, 2026\, at 6 pm\, at the New Haven Museum (NHM). The talk is the latest offering in “The Monthly Slice” series of programs at NHM\, presented in conjunction with the ongoing exhibition\, “Pronounced Ah-Beetz.” Free with regular museum admission. Register here. \nModerated by Gorman Bechard\, director of “Pizza A Love Story\,” the discussion offers an opportunity to ask questions of one of the premier pizza makers in the world. Pustari grew up as a pizza man and went to what he likes to call “pizza university.” He bought Modern Apizza in 1988 and turned it into a nationally recognized pizza restaurant. \nModern has consistently been ranked as one of the 10 best pizzerias in the country\, and one of the “Big Three” in New Haven. “Pizza Today” magazine named Modern the 2023 Pizzeria of the Year. Having always kept it a family affair\, Pustari runs Modern with the help of his wife Mary\, and their children\, William and Arianna\, and a dedicated staff\, many of whom have been with Pustari for decades. \nThe “Pronounced Ah-Beetz” exhibition at NHM includes first-hand oral histories and pizza-related artifacts from personal collections\, video footage adapted from the documentary and photographs. The exhibition’s title comes from the way many people mispronounce the word apizza\, which originally grew out of the Italian la pizza. The exhibition will remain on view through October 2027.

SUMMARY:A Goodnight Kiss
DESCRIPTION:In 1863\, a time when handwritten letters carried news of hope or despair\, a correspondence began between two young New England residents whose relationship blossomed in the shadow of the Civil War. Missed opportunities\, unreliable mail\, and the ever-present threat of tragedy raised profound obstacles that would make or break their bond. This dramatization of the deeply moving real-life correspondence between two individuals proves the triumph of human connection despite all adversity. \nBased on actual love letters\, this historical drama was produced and directed by veteran TV/film actress Kathy Kelly and written by award-winning\, internationally acclaimed playwright Cinzi Lavin. \nRSVP to reserve your free ticket! \nLWVCT is proud to be a CT affiliate organization for America 250. This event is a part of the year-long celebration.
