town that included enslaved people with a talk by Elise Lemire,
co-sponsored with the Bemis Free Lecture Series. You can view Elise’s

Please join Lincoln’s First Parish “Racial Justice Journey” and the
Lincoln Historical Society in exploring the complicated legacy of Lincoln’s
early racial history, with a presentation by Don Hafner, retired Vice
Provost and Professor of Political Science at Boston College. Prof. Hafner
is a board member of the Lincoln Historical Society, and author of two
important books about 18thcentury Lincoln history: *William Smith, Captain:
The Life and Death of a Soldier of the American Revolution, *and* Tales of
the Battle Road April 19, 1775.* He will take us on a deeper exploration
into stories of some of Lincoln’s earliest residents.
The First Parish Lincoln’s Racial Justice Journey began this fall with
a focus on history – national, local, and church history – and the ways in
which that history has involved us in questions of race. The aim is to
offer access to a variety of sources of information and perspectives that
will let participants reconsider these questions together, in preparation
for the next stages of the journey, focused on ISSUES (winter) and ACTION
(spring). This fall, every Thursday evening at 7 PM, Zoom meetings are
held for talks, documentaries, book discussions, or movies. Field trips
are also offered as part of the program. Everyone is invited.
