“history is only boring when its dead" Tonight, I was in #Avon to honor Civil War soldier Pvt. Leverett Holden at the dedication of Site #164 on the CT Freedom Trail. His life and service in the 29th CT Colored Infantry Regiment were brought to life with a memorial stone and storytellers who shared insights on the significance of Juneteenth & our ongoing fight toward freedom & equality.
