Today's Holiday
Prudence Crandall DayThe official celebration of Prudence Crandall Day in Canterbury, Connecticut, only dates back to 1987, but Crandall herself has been recognized for some time as a pioneer in the education of young African-American girls. Prudence Crandall Day events include craft demonstrations from the 1830s, period children's games, and at least one activity directly relating to Crandall herself. Most of the festival events are held at the Prudence Crandall Museum, located in the house where Crandall lived and taught.
