HuManities Monday
Starts at: 5:30pm
Whipple Hall, New London, NH
Presented by Nora Lewis
" About Black Heritage Trail NH: From the docks of Portsmouth, where merchants engaged in the trans-Atlantic slave trade unloaded their cargo, to the northern border with Canada where many escaping captives found their first moment of freedom, the Granite State holds a multitude of stories that mark the milestones of its complex history. For more than 300 years, the lives of African people and their descendants have been a part of New Hampshire’s history. Yet this African American history has long been hidden in the shadows even though Black lives have been intermixing with White lives in highly personal ways. The Black Heritage Trail NH promotes awareness and appreciation of African American history and life in order to build more inclusive communities today. We believe that if we could embrace our shared history, we could heal racial anxiety and misunderstanding -- in our communities, our state and in this country (from Black Heritage Trail NH)."
This event is free and open to the public, but space is limited; please RSVP to info@cfanh.org.

Corbin Animal Farm
Starts at: 7pm
LSPA Center for Lake Studies
Mary Knonenwetter will present the history and legacy of "Corbin's Animal Garden."
"In the late 1800s, the banking, railroad, and real estate mogul Austin Corbin returned to his hometown in Newport, New Hampshire. He built a grand estate and bought out his neighbors’ farms to create an 22,000 acre wildlife game preserve stocked with boar, bison, bighorn sheep, antelope, elk, Chinese pheasant, and other imported animals. The grounds eventually became a prestigious private hunting park and hosted illustrious guests including Theodore Roosevelt, the Prince of Wales, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Joe Dimaggio, Rudyard Kipling, and Augustus Saint Gaudens. This illustrated slideshow features archival images and a discussion of the complicated history and legacy of New Hampshire’s own American Gilded Age robber baron. The talk will also highlight the important legacy of the role the Corbin family and park naturalist Ernest Baynes played in the saving of the American bison from extinction. In partnership with the Sunapee Historical Society. Supported by NH Humanities."
