Poetry Remembers: Art, Empathy,and the Rememberance of the Shape of Our Shared History

The arts undergird the historical record. Poets capture the soul of society, preserving what facts alone cannot. Ultimately, poetry is both a literary exploration of an era and a conversation with its historical foundation. 
At HFFC’s featured-speaker program on Monday, July 13th, Connecticut Poet Laureate Antoinette Brim-Bell discussed the power of poetry to curate often under-represented voices and histories, thereby challenging our understanding of our common histories, enriching our understanding of the complexities of race, culture, and identity.

HFFC Thanksgiving Campaign

Every year in November, in the spirit of thanksgiving, HFFC selects a non-profit to collect donations to support. This year, the Steering Committee has chosen immigrant legal aid as the need we’d most like our members and friends to address.
TAILC -- The American Immigrant Legal Clinic -- (tailcproject.org) believes no one should face deportation along. It is a Connecticut-based nonprofit. A volunteer-driven legal clinic, responding directly to the surge in federal immigration enforcement and deportations. It provides free legal defense for detained immigrants in Connecticut — powered by volunteers, rooted in community. When the federal government comes knocking, TAILC tries to make sure no one has to answer alone.
The Thanksgiving campaign will run through the month of November. HFFC’s Steering Committee voted to match donations up to $250.
