Who Was Pomp Russell: Forgotten No More
Who Was Pomp Russell: Forgotten No More
He fought for a nation’s freedom while enslaved himself. Pomp Russell was a Wilton man, a Revolutionary War soldier, and for too long, a missing name on our town’s War Memorial. Historian Judy Granger tells his remarkable story — just three days before his name is finally added to the memorial where it belongs on May 9. Don’t miss this moving piece of history, hiding in plain sight all along. Free & open to all. Part of the Wilton 250 celebration May 2–10.
