The Harriet Beecher Stowe Center is delighted to honor Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr. as the 2021 Stowe Prize winner. Dr. Glaude receives the award for BEGIN AGAIN: JAMES BALDWIN'S AMERICA AND ITS URGENT LESSONS FOR OUR OWN (Crown Publishing Group, 2020), a book that uses the life of James Baldwin to create dialogue about contemporary racial inequality in the United States. This year’s events will be both on-site and virtual, with COVID safety protocols in place.The award will be presented on Thursday, September 23, 2021 on the Stowe Center grounds along with a rare look into the Stowe Collections with Dr. Glaude, UCONN Professor Jeffrey Ogbar, and Director of Collections and Research Beth Burgess. The group will discuss artifacts from the Stowe Center’s nationally-significant collection and their relationship to Baldwin’s and Glaude’s work, as well as issues of race history, historic systemic racism, and the fight for racial equity today.The rain date is Friday, September 24.
The Stowe Center is committed to keeping all in-person attendees safe and comfortable. We have been following local and state COVID guidelines carefully and will continue to do so.
The dinner and program is an outdoor, open air event with tables spaced at a safe distance. Meals will be individually boxed for each person and beverages already placed on each table. We will be following CDC guidelines for sanitizing.
All staff, and the production team, are vaccinated and will be masked. We ask those attendees who are unvaccinated to remain masked out of respect and protection of those attending who might have underlying vulnerabilities.
