Human Ties
Connecting across physical distance

Coming up in our virtual Friday series:
Please join us this Friday, April 16 at 5 pm for the program “Bearing Witness and the Endurance of Voice” about African American poet Lucy Terry Prince. In this presentation, Shanta Lee Gander will illustrate Prince’s importance as a poet and orator, and as one unafraid to fight for her rights in eighteenth-century New England. Gander will also perform Prince’s only surviving poem, “Bars Fight.”

Join us for this free and fascinating online program!
