Program Description
Event Details
What does it mean for students to author history?
Join us for a preview of this year’s Coloring Our Past work as Salisbury School students share original, place-based research uncovering stories that have too often been ignored, silenced, or misunderstood—both in the Northwest Corner and far beyond it.
This year’s projects move across geography, culture, and time, exploring themes of freedom, labor, memory, music, and resistance. Student work includes investigations into
- The Amistad in Connecticut
- Austin Steward and the Underground Railroad
- Black Whaling and Maritime Labor
- From the Killing Fields to the Northwest Corner
- Fiber Arts as Historical Evidence
- The Song “Dixie” and American Memory
- The Manhattan Project in Canaan
Five 10-minute student presentations will be followed by an open conversation with the student historians, offering a chance to ask questions, dig into sources, and hear how these projects took shape—from archives to interviews to creative interpretation.
This event will be presented in a hybrid format, welcoming both in-person and Zoom audiences.
