From the Chittenden County Historical Society:

The Story of Anne Connelly, who, as a blind woman, ran her own business and was the first to have a trained guide dog.

Development Director of the Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (VABVI) John Thomas presents the fascinating story of Anne Connelly, entitled: "Anne Connelly: The Blind Merchant of Burlington". Connelly (1899-1939) came to Vermont as a blind adult, and worked for VABVI (then the Vermont Association for the Blind), introduced our community to trained guide dogs and white canes, and ran her own business - all while supporting the blind community.

From Dr. Wetchi:

Host Dr. Wetchi chats with Robin Lloyd and Sandy Baird about Pan-Africanism. Pan-Africanism is in essence a movement of ideas and emotions. It is a social and political vision, a philosophy and a movement that seeks to unify Africans in Africa and members of the African diaspora into a global African community, and that calls for the political unity of Africa. For the founders of Pan-Africanism, there is an African personality common to all black men and women. This black personality contains specific values of wisdom, intelligence, sensitivity.

Le panafricanisme est par essence un mouvement d’idées et d’émotions. Il s’agit d’une vision sociale et politique, d’une philosophie et d’un mouvement qui cherche à unifier les Africains d’Afrique et les membres de la diaspora africaine au sein d’une communauté africaine mondiale, et qui appelle à l’unité politique de l’Afrique.
Pour les fondateurs du panafricanisme, il existe une personnalité africaine commune à tous les hommes et femmes noirs. Cette personnalité noire renferme des valeurs spécifiques de sagesse, d’intelligence, de sensibilité.
