Live, Learn, Lunch: Fortune’s Story: Enslaved in Life & Death
Wed, November 11 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
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.
