Fortune was an enslaved man in Waterbury, Connecticut. Upon his death, his body was not buried, and his bones were used to teach anatomy. His bones were donated to the Mattatuck Museum, where they stayed until he was properly buried in 2013. We will use historical data to learn more about slavery in Waterbury and explore Fortune’s story, his bones, and what they tell us about him. 12:00 Lunch will be served 12:30 Presentation by Matt On the Go! : Mattatuck Museum at Litchfield Community Center CLICK HERE TO REGISTER
