New London’s Black Heritage Trail Virtual Program

Join us virtually to learn about New London’s Black Heritage Trail with Tom Schuch, one of the researchers for the Trail, where he will share the story of how this project came about, as well as some of the stories of the men and women who are commemorated on the Trail.

In 2022, Connecticut Explored Magazine recognized the New London Black Heritage Trail as one of 20 Game-Changers, programs that are positively changing the way we view Connecticut history.

Tom Schuch is a New London native and a graduate of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., with a longstanding interest in social justice issues. He has given over 50 presentations and podcasts of his findings.
