SUMMARY:Book Chat on American Midnight with Adam Hochschild
DESCRIPTION:America in the World War I era was a tinderbox: a time of fierce debate over labor rights\, free speech\, and racial equality. In an era marked by vigilanteism spurred on by the government\, citizen turned against citizen in the war over what it means to be American. Lynchings\, suppression of the press\, and violence against conscientious objectors marred our ideals of democracy. A colorful cast of characters\, from Woodrow Wilson to Emma Goldman and J. Edgar Hoover joined in the fray. \nJoin author Adam Hochschild for a conversation on this little-known era of American history whose legacy is still felt with us today. Meeting is in-person and the author will join us virtually. \nFree!

SUMMARY:Countdown to April 19th\, 1775: The Gathering Storm
DESCRIPTION:Noted historian and author J. L. Bell will be speaking on Tuesday\, April 2 at 7:00 PM in\nRoom 204\, Acton Town Hall\, 472 Main Street\, Acton\, MA. Please register for the talk at:\nhttp://tinyurl.com/APR-02-Bell\, or use the QR code above. Remote Participation: You\ncan participate in the Q&A using ZOOM http://tinyurl.com/Acton250-ZOOM or watch\nlive at Acton TV http://tinyurl.com/Acton-TV. \nContext: As the year 1774 began\, Massachusetts politicians worried about how the\nroyal government in London would respond to the Boston Tea Party. The force of that\nreaction became clear in the return of troops to Boston\, the Coercive Acts\, and the\nMassachusetts Government Act. In late summer the province’s people rebelled by\nshutting down government functions in rural counties\, seizing weapons in ports\, and\nelecting their own legislature. The engine of that resistance was a little-understood\ninstitution: the colonial militia. By fall\, it was clear that the new royal governor had no\nleverage outside Boston. This talk traces the end of British power in most of\nMassachusetts even before the war began. \nJ. L. Bell has explored the end of British royal government in Massachusetts by\nfollowing the contest for artillery pieces in his acclaimed book\, The Road to Concord:\nHow Four Stolen Cannon Ignited the Revolutionary War. He also maintains the Boston\n1775 blog\, which offers daily helpings of history\, analysis\, and unabashed gossip about\nRevolutionary New England. \nWe will post a recording shortly after on the Acton 250 website. This is the fourth\nlecture in a series commissioned by the Acton 250 Committee. Please visit the Acton 250 website\nhttps://www.actonma.gov/250 for all event programming. \nGenerously supported by the Acton Lions Club.

SUMMARY:Building Independence (Walking Tour)
DESCRIPTION:Women have found different ways to claim independence over time\, even when it wasn’t readily given. Join a ranger for this 1-hour walking tour of downtown Lowell to learn how the buildings that created the city of Lowell also offered women a chance at independence previously unheard of. Explore some of the ways the women of Lowell were able to gain access to bank accounts\, own and manage property\, and decide how to spend their hard-earned wages. \nThe walk will cover 0.75 miles of walking and will involve up to an hour of walking and standing. This event is free and open to all. \n(Free parking at 350 Dutton Street in the Hamilton Parking Garage. Pick up a chaser ticket at the Visitor Center front desk to use when exiting the garage).
