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.

SUMMARY:The Hidden History of Slavery in New York Film Screening\, Q & A\, and Local History Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an important and illuminating afternoon featuring two powerful speakers whose work brings hidden histories into the light—both nationally and right here in Stamford. \n🎬 Award-Winning Film Screening & Q&A \nLarry Epstein\, two-time Emmy Award–winning journalist and documentary producer\, will present his filmThe Hidden History of Slavery in New York\, winner of an award at the 67th Annual New York Emmy Awards. \nWritten\, produced\, and researched by Epstein\, this 30-minute documentary confronts a largely untold chapter of American history: New York City’s central role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Through the lens of high school student Richard French IV\, the film explores how slavery was deeply rooted in the North—revealing New Amsterdam as a major epicenter and Wall Street as the country’s largest slave market in the 17th and 18th centuries.The film features Bryan Stevenson\, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative\, offering critical historical context that challenges what many of us were taught in school. \nA Q&A with Larry Epstein will follow the screening. \n🗣 Local History\, Personal Legacy \nOur second speaker\, Bria Scott\, brings history home through her ongoing family research. Bria is a descendant of Henry Scott\, a Stamford resident and active member of the city’s working community during a time when Black residents faced profound barriers to visibility and opportunity. \nThrough newly uncovered documentation\, photographs\, and newspaper coverage—including features in The Advocate—Bria has traced her ancestor’s civic engagement\, labor activism\, and participation in a May Day protest in Stamford. These images and records place Henry Scott directly within the city’s social and labor justice history. \nAs Bria shares\, these stories matter not just to her family\, but to Stamford itself—representing the everyday lives\, courage\, and dignity of Black residents whose contributions shaped the city\, even when they were not formally celebrated. \n✨ This Black History Month\, we invite you to learn\, reflect\, and engage with history that is too often overlooked—yet deeply essential. \n📅 Friday\, February 28⏰ 1–4 PM📍Stamford History Center \n🎟 $15 General Admission\, $10 Admission for SHC Members

SUMMARY:9 to 5: The Story of a Movement
DESCRIPTION:50 years ago Ellen Cassedy was a founder and longtime leader of the 9 to 5 movement of working women that began in Boston. On Saturday\, February 7\, 2026\, at 2 p.m.\, Cassedy will be at the New Haven Museum for a special screening of the documentary film\, “9 to 5: The Story of a Movement” by the Academy-Award-winning team Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar\, in which she appears. Admission is free. Register here. \nCassedy is the author of “Working 9 to 5: A Women’s Movement\, A Labor Union\, and the Iconic Movie\,” (foreword by Jane Fonda) and several other books. The film tells the story of how women workers began in a circle talking about their jobs and went on to build a nationwide movement that won rights and respect for millions of women workers – and inspired a hit movie and an enduring song along the way. After the film\, audience members will be invited to share their thoughts and questions about women and work. \nPresented in conjunction with the Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven (JHSGNH)\, the screening is part of the 2026 Judith Ann Schiff Women’s History Film Series which was designed to examine the issues faced by women as clerical workers\, factory workers\, and teachers (details/schedule here). The series previews the fourth Annual Judith Ann Schiff Women’s History Program at NHM (March 1\, 2026) which will focus on Jewish women involved in organizing unions for social workers\, New Haven Public School teachers\, and Yale University clerical and technical workers in the 20th century. \nCassedy became interested in women’s rights as an office worker in the early 1970’s. “Office workers were influenced by the civil rights and women’s movements and eager to win our rights\,” she says. “We won a lot\, but there’s a long way to go. Today’s working people struggle to make ends meet and care for their families.” She adds that she hopes to inspire others to speak up.

SUMMARY:‘Pizza: A Love Story’ Screening and Tour of ‘Pronounced Ah-Beetz’ Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:If you have somehow missed the documentary\, “Pizza: A Love Story\,” here’s a chance to attend a screening with  Filmmaker Gorman Bechard at the New Haven Museum\, on Thursday\, February 5\, 2026\, at 6 p.m. A curator’s tour of the“Pronounced Ah-Beetz” exhibit with co-curator Jason Bischoff-Wurstle will be offered at 5:30 p.m. A Q&A with Bechard and co-producers Dean Falcone\, and Colin M. Caplan will follow the screening. The film\, tour\, and Q&A are free with regular museum admission. Register here. \nIn the documentary\, Bechard tells the story of the evolution of this modern-day food staple\, which he claims is “the only pizza that can really be called ‘pizza.’” From the rusted wheels of Frank Pepe’s bread cart to the black charcoal on their fingertips\, visitors will journey from old-world Italy to present-day New Haven. \nAccording to Bechard\, the “Holy Trinity” of Pepe’s\, Sally’s\, and Modern serve as a cornerstone of New Haven’s Italian-American heritage and set the bar for this hallowed comfort food. “Pizza\, A Love Story” is not just a tale of three restaurants but of three families that have the power to polarize\, captivate\, and delight. \n“Pronounced Ah-Beetz” is co-curated by Bischoff-Wurstle\, director of photo archives at the New Haven Museum\, and Bechard\, Falcone\, and Caplan. The exhibit includes first-hand oral histories and pizza-related artifacts from personal collections\, video footage adapted from the documentary and photographs. \nThe exhibit’s title\, “Pronounced Ah-Beetz\,” comes from the way many people mispronounce the word apizza\, which originally grew out of the Italian la pizza. The exhibit will remain on view through October 2027.
