As Black History Month draws to a close, I am reminded that my former hometown has been blessed with many, many prominent and accomplished Black citizens who have had such a positive impact on our lives in Norwich.
It is fair to say that members of Norwich’s Black population have made significant impacts locally, statewide and even nationally in various fields, ranging from education and social services to politics and and the arts, to social services and civil rights.
Some, like Virginia Christian, the first elected Black City Councilor in eastern Connecticut, made their marks more than a half-century ago and paved the way for the likes of Jacqueline Caron, who would serve multiple Council terms years later.
NORWICH Nearly eight months after the brutal death of George Floyd, a Black man who suffocated under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer’s knee, Norwich police officials and minority community members are reflecting on how that shocking incident and the subsequent protests it engendered have affected their relationship.
On June 2, eight days after the 46-year-old man’s death, more than 100 protesters walked from City Hall to Norwich police headquarters off Thames Street carrying signs and a lot of anger. For hours, rally members, many of them young people of color, chanted and vented their frustration over what several said was just the latest incident marking a long history of law enforcement treating their peers in other parts of the country with unjust deadly force.
