Peter Hinks, professor of history, was among six historians featured on Connecticut Public Television (CPTV) on Sunday, Feb. 9. The 90-minute program, "Slavery and Freedom in New England," was based on a national conference of the same name that was recently hosted by The Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance and Abolition at YCIAS.

Participants in the program are: David Blight, professor of history and African American Studies, Amherst College; Gail Nordmoe assistant superintendent, New London Public Schools; Gerry Sawyer, archeologist, Central Connecticut State University; David Brion Davis, director, The Gilder Lehrman Center and James Horton, professor of history, George Washington University.
