This series will examine how segregation impacts economic opportunity, healthcare, education, safety and the personal dignity of people of color, and how it also disadvantages the state as a whole. 

Each session will address a different topic and will highlight initiatives enacted in other states or proposed in Connecticut.

Panel conversation of September 22: ‘The Two Connecticuts’ Session 1: A House Divided, examined how racism keeps people of color out of "the other Connecticut."
