SUMMARY:Rhetoric and Reason
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with The La Grua Center\, Rhetoric and Reason pairs historically significant speeches by Elizabeth Cady Stanton\, Abraham Lincoln\, Martin Luther King\, Jr. and more with musical selections that amplify the emotional and historical impact of their words. These speeches demonstrate the power of the spoken word as a means of protest and civil discourse\, and highlight the significance of civic participation in matters of society\, politics\, ethics and legislation. This event will showcase the voices of women and people of color in juxtaposition to those who have typically held positions of power.  Rhetoric and Reason provides an opportunity to explore oration as a form of activism\, and the timelessness of certain sentiments that are echoed across decades\, race\, gender and ability. We  encourage the public to think critically about how these speeches impacted our country. Generously funded by the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut. \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public on Wednesday\, October 7th at 6pm at the La Grua Center.

SUMMARY:Cornelia Dayton presents: The American Revolution Homefront: New England Families & Women’s Lives in  Turmoil
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the La Grua Center on Wednesday\, October 28th for a fascinating evening with Dr. Cornelia H. Dayton. Dr. Dayton will highlight New England women on the homefront whose lives were suddenly or violently disrupted and who wrote about it. Their stories help us grapple with the emotional toll exacted by political strife and war. Diaries\, letters\, and court records offer windows onto white and Black women’s fears and strategizing. She will also explore the ways in which courtships and marriages were tested or ended amid revolutionary discord.\n\n\n \n\n\nCornelia H. Dayton is the author of books such as Women Before the Bar: Gender\, Law\, and Society in Connecticut\, 1639-1789 and Women’s America: Refocusing the Past\, 7 th -10 th editions (with Linda Kerber et al.). Her research has uncovered new findings about the life and marriage of poet Phillis Wheatley Peters\, as featured in the documentary by Askew Pictures\, In Search of Phillis Wheatley Peters. She attended Harvard-Radcliffe and received her PhD from Princeton University. Recently retired\, she taught courses on ‘vast’ early America\, law in US society\, women and gender\, and Revolutionary Boston at the University of Connecticut.
