Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center’s (KTM&HC) Revolutionary Perspectives series continues this April - National Fair Housing Month - with a free film screening and panel discussion about the historical context and present-day impacts of Connecticut's housing crisis. Join us in KTM&HC’s Garden House on Thursday, April 24 at 6:30pm!
The evening begins with a screening of CT Public's Fighting for Home: How Housing Policy Keeps Connecticut Segregated. The hour-long special, which originally aired in June 2024, explores how the legacy of exclusionary zoning and redlining imposed a painful divide we see today in our state’s current housing crisis. From CT Public: "Our towns and cities are segregated by race and class because of systemic barriers that have persisted over time. Witness the struggle and determination of those fighting for change."
KTM&HC's Revolutionary Perspectives series celebrates innovative approaches to how we discover, interpret, and share American history, with an emphasis on themes of memory and identity. The series is supported by a grant from the Wadsworth R. Lewis Fund. Thank you!
