Race. Environment. Age. Income. Community. Neighborhood. According to Colin Caplan, these are the man-made boundaries in New Haven. New Haven had always had borders but they changed into novel lines separating New Haven even more and are still as evident as before. Colin Caplan gave a presentation to all the middle schoolers last Friday in the assembly. This is some of the information acquired from his intriguing speech.

Born and raised in New Haven, Colin Caplan always wanted to be an architect. Now not only is he an architect but he’s also an author, environmentalist, expert, historian and the preserver of New Haven and its rich history. He currently lives in Beaver Hills where he’s been for his whole life. He’s written many books. “Colin Caplan may know even more about New Haven than Toni Harp herself," - Brian Christman.
