From 1989 to 2001 I served as Humanities Scholar-in-Residence at Connecticut Public Television and Radio, a position supported by the Connecticut Humanities Council. I wrote the scripts for the documentaries The Roots of Roe, Schools in Black and White, Rust Valley, The Amistad Revolt, Electronic Road Film, Brass City Music, and Dance on the Wind, the last two of which I co-produced.
As Humanities Scholar-in-Residence I developed and supervised the documentary series The Connecticut Experience, produced by the Connecticut Humanities Council in collaboration with Connecticut Public Television. The series included more than twenty documentaries on Connecticut topics, of those the following sixteen have been digitized:
| Between Boston and New York, 1992 | Puerto Rican Passages, 1995 | Colt: Legend and Legacy, 1997 |
| From Here to There, 1998 | African Americans in Connecticut: The Colonial Era to The Civil War, 1998 | African American in Connecticut: The Civil War to Civil Rights, 1998 |
