A Diplomat of Consequence: Ebenezer Bassett, America’s First Black Diplomat – A documentary by Christopher Teal
A forgotten hero. A man who stood alone and was willing to risk everything to do the right thing.
Ebenezer Bassett had been an abolitionist, educator, and activist during the U.S. Civil War. When the United States emerged from that war, friends such as Frederick Douglass pushed President Grant to appoint black Americans like Bassett to senior government positions. Bassett became the first American to integrate the diplomatic corps, leaving a lasting impact on U.S. foreign policy.
Bassett was a role model not simply for his symbolic importance, however. He was a civil rights leader and among the earliest advocates to promote human rights in foreign policy. His courage in the face of threats during his tenure place him among the greats of diplomatic and American history. Along with public archives on Bassett’s life, newly found information from family members and never before seen material from his four decade relationship with Frederick Douglass are explored in the documentary.
This is not just an historical documentary, however. Bassett’s legacy demonstrates to broader audiences what diplomats have accomplished and what they do in today’s complicated environment. Bringing in contemporary voices of minority diplomats is a crucial component of why diversity in foreign affairs still is imperative for successful engagement today.
A Diplomat of Consequence’s release in 2019, coincides with the 150th anniversary of Bassett’s historic diplomatic appointment to Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
A must see for anyone interested in diplomatic history, African American history, Caribbean and Latin American issues, historical biographies, race relations, the Civil War, human rights, refugees, students, or just for a plain old good story of a true American Hero.
Christopher Teal presentará una proyección de su documental “Ebenezer Bassett: A Diplomat of Consequence” en el Museo Barnum el domingo 14 de abril a las 2:00 pm. (El tiempo de ejecución del documental es de 43 minutos.)

Un diplomático de la consecuencia: Ebenezer Bassett, el primer diplomático negro de Estados Unidos: un documental de Christopher Teal
Un héroe olvidado. Un hombre que estaba solo y estaba dispuesto a arriesgar todo para hacer lo correcto.
Ebenezer Bassett había sido abolicionista, educador y activista durante la Guerra Civil de los Estados Unidos. Cuando Estados Unidos emergió de esa guerra, amigos como Frederick Douglass presionaron al presidente Grant para que designara a estadounidenses de raza negra como Bassett a altos cargos gubernamentales. Bassett se convirtió en el primer estadounidense en integrar el cuerpo diplomático, dejando un impacto duradero en la política exterior de los Estados Unidos.
Sin embargo, Bassett fue un modelo a seguir, no solo por su importancia simbólica. Fue un líder de derechos civiles y uno de los primeros defensores de promover los derechos humanos en la política exterior. Su valentía frente a las amenazas durante su mandato lo colocó entre los grandes de la historia diplomática y estadounidense. Junto con los archivos públicos sobre la vida de Bassett, en el documental se explora la información recientemente encontrada por miembros de la familia y material nunca antes visto de su relación de cuatro décadas con Frederick Douglass.
Sin embargo, esto no es solo un documental histórico. El legado de Bassett demuestra a un público más amplio lo que los diplomáticos han logrado y lo que hacen en el entorno complicado de hoy. Traer las voces contemporáneas de los diplomáticos minoritarios es un componente crucial de por qué la diversidad en los asuntos extranjeros todavía es imprescindible para un compromiso exitoso hoy.
La liberación de Diplomat of Consequence en 2019 coincide con el 150 aniversario del histórico nombramiento diplomático de Bassett en Haití y la República Dominicana.
Una visita obligada para cualquier persona interesada en historia diplomática, historia afroamericana, asuntos caribeños y latinoamericanos, biografías históricas, relaciones raciales, guerra civil, derechos humanos, refugiados, estudiantes, o simplemente por una historia sencilla de un verdadero héroe estadounidense.

HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont and Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Commissioner Josh Geballe today announced a series of items to reduce bureaucracy, streamline procurement, and ultimately make it easier for businesses to work with the state. Included in the items is a bill currently pending in the legislature that will eliminate thousands of unnecessary forms processed by DAS annually. The announcement was made during a tour of Infoshred, a document shredding facility in East Windsor.
Currently, every business that wants to sell to the state has to fill out at least seven forms in the procurement process. House Bill 7385
, developed by DAS, will reduce that to one, thereby eliminating unnecessary forms that businesses need to complete to do business with the state without compromising the state’s standards for fair and ethical contracting. The bill will result in the elimination of over 90,000 forms that are submitted to the state each year. The proposal has gained the support of the Connecticut Business and Industries Association
, the state’s leading business advocate.
“With fresh eyes, an aggressive approach, and collaboration, we can modernize state government the way it should be,” Governor Ned Lamont said. “It is too difficult to navigate through our agencies – it slows down our employees and our businesses. Commissioner Geballe has hit the ground running and in just over two months already identified ways to eliminate burdensome red tape. We’ll continue to make doing business easier in Connecticut. State government needs to embrace change and be willing to take responsible risks to move into the future. The status quo is not good enough.”
“As a former CEO of a technology company in Connecticut, I know this is a fantastic state to build a business but that the state can be a better partner in helping Connecticut businesses grow,” Commissioner Geballe said. “Citizens and businesses in this state are our customers, and we can help them by simplifying processes and eliminating wasteful duplication of data collection.”
Other DAS initiatives include:
· Simplify redundant processes. As one example, the state and the federal government have different standards for what qualifies as a small business. As a result, small businesses waste time going through a separate processes to receive their certification in Connecticut. The state seeks to adopt the federal standards and eliminate that Connecticut-specific process altogether.
· Reduce manual processes with a goal of having every transaction online. Goals include providing more tools to transact with the state online rather than via printed form or standing in line, dramatically reducing printed forms that are mailed to residents, allowing residents to opt-out of receiving paper copies, and digitizing records to more efficiently utilize office space.
