Andrew Walsh, associate director of the Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life, recently delivered the annual Limpitlaw Lecture in Religion. Entitled “Protestants, Catholics and the Contest to Define American Identity in Late 19th Century Hartford,” the talk focused on how the large migration of Irish Catholics to Hartford clashed with the existing Yankee Protestant heritage and traditions, reshaping the culture and history of the state’s capital city.
