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.
