A History Class Brings Dignity To Murdered Hartford Woman Ada Brown
In 1884, a young Hartford woman named Ada Brown was murdered in her home. It made national news, but Ada’s story faded into obscurity. This hour, we learn why a history class at University of Saint Joseph spent the past semester digging into her story, 136 years later.
And we learn what it meant to one of Ada’s descendants.
