To Begin The World Over Again: Revolutionary Rights
It may be September but our local pollinators are still loving our later blooming flowers, like this Comfrey plant that blooms over and over again through out the growing season. Enjoy this video complete with buzzzzzing bee for #FlowerFriday!
Learn how Boston social reformer Pauline Agassiz Shaw (1841-1917) used her wealth to pay for a vast number of philanthropic efforts including: financing the first public kindergartens in America, lobbying for both prison reform and world peace, participating in the women’s suffrage movement and founding day nurseries and neighborhood houses (including the North Bennet Street School).
Manuel R. Pires, Chairman of African Lodge No. 459, Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, introduces Prince Hall as an historical figure, with an emphasis on his achievements and contributions. Hall was an abolitionist and leader in the free black community in Boston. He founded Prince Hall Freemasonry and lobbied for education rights for African American children.
The Paul Revere Memorial Association presents a talk about the Stamp Act Riots. On the night of August 26, 1765, a mob attacked Thomas Hutchinson’s house on Garden Court Street, just off North Square in Boston. By the next morning, all of his possessions (and those of his servants) had either been carried off by rioters or were left shattered in the street. The detailed inventory of the contents that he submitted, hoping to be reimbursed by the Crown, provides a unique insight into what life was like inside a great North End townhouse on the eve of the Revolution.

There's still time to hear Al Petty and Deirdre Sweeney's concert of colonial music in our garden this afternoon!
