SUMMARY:The Most Hated Man in Revolutionary Boston
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming historian and author John Bell to speak on  “As yet Unhanged”: Ebenezer Richardson and the Coming of the American Revolution. The focus is on Ebenezer Richardson\, a customs agent and British informer convicted of shooting and killing a boy protesting outside of his house in 1770\, making him “the most hated man in Boston.”   The incident provoked a similar response as the Boston Massacre less than two weeks later\, and played a large role in turning public sentiment toward supporting an open rebellion. Over 1\,000 people attended Seider’s funeral procession from Boston’s Liberty Tree. \nRichardson was a well-known scoundrel with many connections in and around his native Woburn- including Stoneham\, where his mother Abigail Johnson Richardson Gould\, moved after her remarriage. \n About the speaker: John Bell (who writes as J.L.Bell) is  a Massachusetts writer who specializes in (among other things) the start of the American Revolution in and around Boston. He is particularly interested in the experiences of children in 1765-75. He has published scholarly papers and popular articles for both children and adults and just published a book\, The Road to Concord\, which follows the fate of 4 cannon smuggled out of Boston to Concord – helping spark the Revolution.  Mr. Bell has been a consultant for History Detectives\, contributed to a display at Minute Man National Historic Park and has produced other material for the National Park Service.  His research can be found at at https://boston1775.blogspot.com/ \n  \nThis program has been made possible by a grant from the Stoneham and Massachusetts Cultural Councils. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Frances Perkins: The Unsung Hero Behind the New Deal
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Stoneham Public Library for  The Unsung Heroine Behind the New Deal\, an historical portrayal by Lady J. This program describes Frances Perkins’ rocky road to Washington. She was the architect of Social Security\, the first female in the US Cabinet\, and an object of admiration and contempt from her male colleagues. Frances Perkins was an unstoppable force in advocating safety and justice for working adults\, children\, and retirees. \n\nWalk with Frances as this Massachusetts native celebrates hard-won victories\, ploughs through political quagmires\, and finesses gender-related quandaries in her mission to make government an ally of exploited workers\, and forgotten retirees.  Free admission. No registration required. \nNote that this event is in the Marcy Room at the Stoneham Public Library\, 431 Main Street\, Stoneham\,
