Приєднався 3 жов 2011
The humanities programs we create inspire understanding through talking, sharing and listening, and make the humanities real and important to everyday life.
Whether at a library, a school or a community center, our programs value face-to-face interaction and facilitated conversation. We select and train our professional discussion leaders, scholars and teachers to engage people of all ages in a wide variety of humanities topics. Our youth programs introduce the world of books to children and help strengthen reading relationships among children, adults, and families. Our adult programs challenge us to think about ourselves and the world around us in new and insightful ways.
Think of them as nourishment for your mind. Whatever programs you join, you can be sure to find food for serious thought.

I met a lot of the folks in the jazz community such as DINKY at the ElKS club on Webster and Dixwell. They used to have jazz night on Sunday nights and I would sit in with whomever was there playing. A really beautiful community of people. Can someone post the whole video doc??
So WWI was a migration of people from Europe taking jobs from Black Americans that were already here. The Chicago World Fair of 1893 shows Free energy with Historic Architecture Designs of Buildings. So what happened to that Greatness
Will Lyman just had to end the documentary with the ominous 'proliferation of the gun' statement like some Lib and Democrat anti-gunner. Too bad the world is not the utopia they dream of in their socialist fantasies where only they have guns. They will never take away my 1873 Colt Army or my 1911A 45ACP without my resistance.
Grew up in Manchester (behind the J.C. Penney warehouse) and I wouldn't change my experiences climbing around the drying barns and picking tobacco and corn in my teenage years for anything. Great documentary. Brought me back to the 70s when life was so simple. Living in Atlanta area now, I can't begin to express how fulfilling my childhood was living in the tobacco valley. Thanks for this! Will link it whenever I can.
Thank you for posting.
You're welcome
Thanks for uploading!
My grandfather was in the Russian army in World War One . My great grandfather was about one fourth Indigenous American. But my mom told me we were German descent. He had blue eyes. I hate the word racist. I want to be one of the nicer people.
My friend asked me why a Native American would marry a German man. Randolph Mantooth. I like myself. But if you ask, you better believe the truth or you’re noty friend . My hair is thick. Love this video .
I support the Connecticut native Americans
Awesome documentary, thank you 🇵🇷💪🏼
Native Americans are black people. Not Chinese/Mexican/white people mixed into one
SO who wuolda thunk it the demon-rat party the gun-grabbers of to-day was financed by a gun manufacturer who probably coerced his employees ( the way of the demon-rats ) to vote accordingly . Perhaps the demon-rat party may never have survived without finance derived from the uninfringed ownership of personal weapons . HA !!😎
what a strong woman. the problem with Colt they didn't stay up with the times ,they depended on government contracts and that was it.
I got 2 1877 colt pistol they are awesome .now they sold the company to zc Czechoslovakia, we are selling everything American. now its run by antigun liberals Connecticut.
I'm sharing your incredible video God bless you all
Did you catch the demeaning tone in his voice when he closed the show with his comment about Colt's legacy? I'm off to see what this "CTHprograms" is about.
They got most of this right but there is some flaws! Samuel Colt didn't know anything about guns!
sam colt did know guns it was winchester that new nothing about guns he was a shirt maker
Fuck this place
Gout...rich mans disease..
34 down votes? Gun control commie...
Maybe the down-voters were just Smith and Wesson owners!!! Nah. They're probably commies. You're right.
Irony..northern democrats were gun manufacturers, and put people to work. and today democrat socialists want to take our guns away and put people out of work..
That was interesting.
"It's called the peacemaker" *Shows not a peacemaker*
Could have been holding an electric toothbrush for all these hooplehead documentarians know.
Permission musem..Windsor vermont..was one of those first..people should see it if in the area
I honestly believe this is a perfect example of why there are so many gun seats every day in the United States
What's a "gun seat"?
@@thatsmrharley2u2 That's when the shooter is too fat to stand, so he sits his fatness down to shoot from a special GUN SEAT made for over-sized American meat-eaters!!! Also made by Colt's Manufacturing Company, LLC, incidentally.
I like home made bombs. Always reliable, and no one can take them away. While everyone is having to give up there guns, I will be protecting mine with bombs. I'll blow everyone straight to hell for taking away any of my constitutional rights
Shit random music. I'm off
Python Elite. Original box and papers of sale. Debating to have it buried with me.
700 years old london's newgate prison.
An horse, an house, an hippopotamus are all INCORRECT, as is 'an' historic. dipshit.
Excellent.
and now in 2021 we know the true history.
Gott machte den Menschen stark.... Samuel colt machte alle Menschen gleich stark 😄
I need a translation
I have an steel colt commander 70’s series in 45 ACP for 30 years, I will hang on to it for life.
FYI for the uninformed: The gun the guy had in the beginning of this documentary was not a an 1871 SA Army Peacemaker but an 1860 Colt Army Black Powder revolver.
Well, the “peacemaker” is the model 1873, not 1871, and the revolver first shown is a Colt 1851 Navy.
@@reachvictoria3386 Oops, I meant 1873.If you look at the bore size, it's an 1860 Colt Army Black Powder revolver, 44cal and to big to be 36cal.
@@bobbymoore9224 you might be right about the caliber, but the barrel on the 1860 is round whereas this one is octagonal. The loading lever is different on the 1851 and 1860 as well, which indicates this is an 1851 Navy. Repros of the 1851 come in .44 as well as .36, so that’s probably what this one is. Not historically accurate, but popular nowadays. But either way, you’re right, it’s not a peacemaker 🤠
@@reachvictoria3386 I have both by Uberti and the 1851 Navy is a nicer looking pistol with the octagon barrel.
God made men big and small, Col. Colt made them all equal.
The US Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to own and carry firearms of any quantity or type. So only anti-American Communists, Socialists, Marxists, and other repressive and controlling government ideologies would attempt to limit, restrict, ban, or otherwise violate this law that has helped to secure the individual liberties and national securities of Americans and their country.
I find it interesting that back then both citizens and soldiers used the same weapons...funny how no one thought anything about that back then, some things should never change.
Yah i agree as Napoleon Bonaparte says in cannons all men are equal! K
A typical "professor" Slotkin sees it as "immoral" to allow both sides to purchase weapons. His kind prefers a one-sided outcome in which he chooses who will slaughter and who will be defenselessly slaughtered.
this goes out to all those with big ego's ⚖️
it's called American spirit....No other country in the world has it!
sold drugs to get his bankroll up enough to get his foot in the proverbial door
God made men different, Sam Colt made em equal.
Ironic this video was made by the state that will shortly chase the company out of the state
And have even chased them out of the country as CZ a Czechoslovakian firm is looking to buy them.
AND that his own political party is the one trying to destroy it, not to mention putting a buffoon and a witch into the presidential offices.
