Fortune was a slave who lived in Waterbury, Connecticut, during the late 1700s. Dr. Porter, the physician who owned him, specialized in setting broken bones. When Fortune died, Dr. Porter preserved his skeleton in order to study it. This requiem honors Fortune’s life and poses questions about the path his skeleton took to its present resting place at the Mattatuck Museum in Connecticut. Afterword. Notes and sources.
