SUMMARY:Prince Mortimer Revisited
DESCRIPTION:Free on Zoom |  Click HERE to register. \nCommunity Historian John Mills will give an update on his extensive research into the life of Prince Mortimer\, a slave from Guinea who was brought to New England in 1730 when he was six years old and died at the age of 110 in 1834 while serving a life sentence at the Wethersfield prison. John has advocated on behalf of Prince Mortimer and other individuals with similar untold histories to ensure that their stories are heard and remembered. \nAbout John: \nOriginally from San Diego\, John Mills is a technologist by trade but a genealogist and equity advocate by passion. The descendant of both southern and northern slaves\, as well as the descendant of slave holders due to their relationships with female slaves\, John focuses on unearthing little-known people and stories of this country’s history in slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. John’s goal is to honor the forgotten\, as well as to apply critical thinking to our history as a means to find solutions to the many ripple effects today.
