Join Concord public historian Richard Smith as he tells the story of Thoreau’s civil disobedience and the Reform movements of the 19th Century that made Concord a hotbed for human rights activism. Are Thoreau’s words and actions more powerful and influential now than they were in 1849? What is Concord’s legacy of protest? And can civil disobedience effect true social change?
In The Goodwin Forum at the Concord Public Library Main Branch. This event is free and open to the public. Tea and light refreshments will be served.
