    Fairfield University Announcement www.fairfield.edu

    Katherine Hermes, Ph.D., J.D., publisher of Connecticut Explored magazine and Professor of History, Emerita, at Central Connecticut State University, will deliver a talk, “Forgotten Voices of the Revolutionary War: People of Color and the Redding Encampment, 1778-1779,” Monday, October 16, at 5 p.m. in the Kelley Center, sponsored by the History Department.

    Dr. Hermes worked as part of a team of scholars and media specialists researching the lives of “forgotten voices” from the Revolutionary War winter encampment at what is now Putnam Memorial State Park, in Redding, CT. She will highlight the lives of soldiers like Daniel Mossock, a Tunxis tribal member from Farmington, Jack Arrabus, an African American soldier from New Haven who sued for his freedom, and Judith Lines, a widowed Indigenous and African American camp follower from Windham who received her own pension after the war.

    This talk derives from a National Park Service Battlefield Interpretation grant awarded to CRIS Radio- Connecticut Radio Information System, a 43-year-old nonprofit radio-reading service, to create an accessible smartphone audio tour of the Revolutionary War winter encampment. crisaccess.org/forgotten-voices-of-the.../
    In addition to the CRIS Radio audio production team, the project included archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, archivists, and graduate students who researched the roles of soldiers of color, and the civilian women, Native Americans, and African Americans who helped the soldiers survive the harsh winter of 1778-79 at the site.
    For more information contact, Dr. Patricia Behre at pbehre@fairfield.edu

    Brand new Grating the Nutmeg Podcast out today!
    Listen: gratingthenutmeg.libsyn.com/173-baseball-runs-in-the-springer-family / Apple Podcasts / Spotify

    You can’t find a better local story about baseball, family, and community than that of the Springer family of New Britain. In this episode, Natalie Belanger chats with George Springer, Jr. George is a very proud dad. His daughters Nicole and Lena played collegiate softball, and both went on to play for the Puerto Rican National team. His son, George Springer III, plays right field for the Toronto Blue Jays. In 2017, when he played for the Houston Astros, he was an MLB All-Star and named World Series MVP.

    This fall the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History is hosting the Smithsonian traveling exhibition ¡Pleibol! In the Barrios and the Big Leagues / En los barrios y las grandes ligas. It explores the historic role that baseball has played as a social and cultural force within Latino communities across the world, and how Latinos in particular have influenced and changed the game.
