In Waterbury, Rev. Amy D. Welin led a service for a Connecticut slave named Fortune who died in 1798 and was never buried. Organizers said the burial honors a man once preserved for medical study, now laid to rest as a child of God.
Activists said a funeral service was long overdue and planned the event, which occurred on Thursday. Tests by Quinnipiac University confirmed Fortune's painful injuries near the end of life, but the cause of death was not determined by the university’s testing.
