In 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was a clarion call to freedom, galvanizing public sentiment for abolition leading up to the Civil War. But today, social justice still eludes us. Inequity can be found in many areas of life. In recognition of Stowe's bicentennial, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center has invited the members of the Congressional Black Caucus to Hartford to continue the conversation Stowe began 160 years ago.

Join us for an interactive community-focused program, and ignite a call to action on three important issues for America:
