SWORDS TO PLOWSHARES

Join us for the inauguration of a new public art work
by the CCSU Mural Painting class of Fall 2007

Elihu Burritt was a blacksmith and prominent resident of New Britain.  He
was an abolitionist, peace activist and internationalist.  Swords to
Plowshares provides a glimpse into his workshop, where the weapons of war
are transformed into the instruments of peace.
 
In the spirit of Burritt¹s life work, this mural is being dedicated to the
often-invisible immigrant workers here at Central CT State University.  As
students, faculty and artists, we want to take this opportunity to welcome
our new co-workers to our community and express appreciation for the
important contribution that they make to our education.
