SUMMARY:Author Talk & Signing: Dr. Sarah L. Webb on Colorism
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, August 29th at 5 p.m. for an impactful discussion on Colorism. We’re thrilled to welcome author Dr. Sarah L. Webb as she delves into her new book\, “Colorism: The Politics of Skin Tone and How We Get Free.” \nAbout the book: The essential primer on colorism\, and how each of us has a role in dismantling skin tone bias. \nRacism is easy to spot these days; we know its script\, its favorite media tropes\, its legislative tactics\, and how it makes us feel. But there is another societal ill hiding in racism’s shadow: colorism. Colorism is a social hierarchy that favors people with lighter skin tones and stigmatizes people with darker skin tones. More than a debate on social media about who’s most attractive\, colorism frays the fabric of our homes and communities and jeopardizes the lives and livelihoods of individuals most impacted. Dr. Sarah L. Webb’s Colorism arrives as a fresh perspective on how we move toward a world free from harmful stigma and discord—a more liberated\, more loving world. \nIn Colorism\, Dr. Sarah shows us how colorism goes unrecognized by most even as it contours our every day lives. She leads us through cultural myths\, client testimonies and her own personal stories to demonstrate colorism’s global stronghold on communities of color and white communities alike. She dissects how dating and pop culture can be hotbeds of discrimination. And she lifts the veil on how colorism can determine our access to education\, work\, social services\, and politics. Soulfully told and richly informational\, Colorism rounds out with revisions we can all make to show up for one another. After all\, bias may be based on what’s on the outside\, but true healing starts from within.

SUMMARY:Bridgeport Baseball
DESCRIPTION:Bridgeport Baseball! The Great American Pastime in the Land of Orator O’Rourke. Free admission. Donations welcome in support of the Barnum Museum. \nBefore baseball became America’s national pastime\, it was a local game shaped in fields\, parks\, and neighborhoods—including right here in Bridgeport! \nJoin baseball historian and poet Michael Bielawa for a journey through the city’s rich baseball heritage\, from early post–Civil War clubs and East Side “muffin” teams to industrial leagues and the rise of professional play near P.T. Barnum’s Winter Headquarters. \nAs part of Connecticut’s America 250 celebration\, step into Bridgeport’s 19th-century fields\, parks\, and neighborhoods\, where baseball began as a local game and evolved into an enduring symbol of American identity. \nDiscover how Seaside Park and Bridgeport’s working neighborhoods helped fuel a new culture of recreation and community life – one that mirrored the rapid growth of baseball itself across nineteenth-century America. From early local clubs and factory teams to spirited neighborhood rivalries\, the game became woven into the daily life of the city. \nWithin this evolving landscape\, young players like Jim O’Rourke – one of baseball’s earliest stars and a National Baseball Hall of Fame inductee – emerged from local fields to help shape the sport’s earliest professional era. From amateur beginnings to national prominence\, Bridgeport offers a vivid window into the transformation of “baseball” into America’s game. \nThrough this rich local history\, Michael Bielawa reveals how Bridgeport became a microcosm of baseball’s evolution—and why its story belongs firmly within the larger narrative of the sport in America. \nPlease contact the Barnum Museum at info@barnum-museum.org or call 203-331-1104 for more information. https://ctvisit.com/events/bridgeport-baseball-great-american-pastime-land-orator-orourke \nFor more information about CT250 Events: https://ctvisit.com/ct250 Connecticut offers a vibrant mix of ways to join in the revelry of this profound milestone\, inviting residents and visitors to experience this state’s rich history and the people\, places\, and events that helped shape the nation.
