Welcome
11 Brave African-American Men from Berlin enlisted in Connecticut's 29th & 30th Colored Troop Regiment and fought for the freedom of their people...and the Nation!
Help us tell their remarkable story of sacrifice and heroism on the battlefield.
What We're About
Who We Are
We're the Berlin Equity Action Team whose mission is to support Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in our hometown of Berlin Connecticut
We do this by creating teachable moments with residents of our community and connecting with our neighbors
Our Goal for this Project
We're raising $250,000 to help add Berlin to the Connecticut Freedom Trail and refurbish the Worthington Ridge Meeting House. We’d like to create a Berlin During The Civil War Exhibit that will tell the story of our soldiers.
PLEASE help us tell their story!
Our History
We're Graduates of our town's Dismantled Social Justice & Equity Committee and are continuing its work.
We created and funded
Berlin's Inaugural Juneteenth Celebration
in 2022 out of our own pockets
We've partnered with our local Historical Society and Library to expand our programming and bring a spotlight on the Diversity Stories and Initiatives in one of Connecticut's least diverse towns.
