Courtney Lemmon\, Chris Lemmon\, and Sydney Lemmon will take part in the event\, celebrating their father and grandfather’s enduring legacy.

SUMMARY:All About Love
DESCRIPTION:All About Love\n“Sappho begins with a sweet apple and ends in infinite hunger.”\n(From “Eros the Bittersweet”\, by Anne Carson) \nToo often throughout history\, we’ve seen women’s love and desire depicted through a male gaze\, while authentic expressions of love and desire by women in art have been considered taboo. Cappella Clausura challenges this by centering voices of women and gender non-binary composers in this program on the topic of love in all its forms. Romantic verses by Sappho\, Elizabeth Barret Browning and Pablo Neruda set by composers including Evelin Seppar\, Modesta Bor\, Rafaella Aleotti\, Laura Nevitt\, and others. \nFebruary 15th\, 2025 @ 4PM Grace Church\n76 Eldredge St. Newton\, MA 02458\nFebruary 16th\, 2025 @ 4PM Emmanuel Church\n15 Newbury St. Boston MA 02116

SUMMARY:Historic Newton Presents Newton History Series: A Pressing Matter - 18th Century Media Literacy and Bias
DESCRIPTION:Media and information literacy are essential 21st-century skills in order to be an informed citizen. These are also skills that\, when applied in a historical context\, help us become better historians. In this discussion\, we will analyze perspective\, language\, and bias in 18th-century newspapers\, with a critical lens on how news was consumed in colonial America. \nAbout the speaker: Michele Gabrielson is a local history teacher and historic interpreter of the 18th century. When she is not teaching in the classroom\, Michele can be found leading tours\, lectures\, and demonstrations at historic sites in the greater Boston area. She specializes in interpreting the history of colonial women printers\, the stories of loyalist refugees\, and of 18th century chocolate makers! Most recently\, she has taken on building a first-person impression of the revolutionary playwright and poet Mercy Otis Warren. Michele additionally serves on several historical committees dedicated to helping preserve the history of colonial America\, is a member of the Authenticity Standards Committee for Minuteman National Historic Park\, and is the coordinator for the Battle Road Guides for the annual reenactment of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. She was recently awarded a 2024 Rising Star Award for Public History by the Massachusetts History Alliance for her programming titled\, “The Revolutionary Classroom\,” and named a finalist for the 2024 Massachusetts History Teacher of the Year. \nThis program is part of the Newton History Series\, co-sponsored by Historic Newton and the Newton Free Library.
