Unforgotten: Connecticut's Hidden History of Slavery | Descendants share stories of their ancestors

A phone call leads to a surprise: A family learns through the Witness Stones Project that their ancestors were enslaved in Connecticut. This discovery gave them an extended family, as well as “a sense of ownership and a sense of belonging.” It also reshaped their view of patriotism. Pat Wilson Pheanious and her son Cheo Hodari Coker are descendants of Montros and Phillis, who were enslaved by David Naughty in Guilford. Their interview was filmed at the Hyland House, where their ancestor Candace was enslaved.
