Share Nestled in the heart of Connecticut's largest historic district, the Webb Deane Stevens Museum's three historic houses tell important stories of national and statewide significance.
Description
John Mills traces his own path in discovering his own ties to slavery, what it taught him about himself and the challenges he would eventually run into in attempting to find the burial locations of his ancestors. He then marries his experiences and revelations to that of the story of Prince Mortimer. HIs intent is to bring light to the largely untold story of Prince, while at the same time evaluating the ripple effects of a past time.
About John
Originally from San Diego, John Mills (51) is a technologist by trade, but a genealogist and equity advocate by passion. The descendant of both southern and northern slaves, as well as the descendant of slave holders due to their relationships with female slaves, John focuses on unearthing little known people and stories of this country’s history in slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. John’s goal is honor the forgotten, as well as to apply critical thinking to our history as a means to find solutions to the many ripple effects today.
