Remember the Ladies:  Women of the Revolutionary Era and Early Republic
Thursday, March 5
2:00 pm, Bristol View 1st Floor Bowditch Room

Explore the lives of American women from the 1760’s-1820’s. Like their male counterparts, women were patriots and loyalists; enslaved and free; historians and camp-followers; soldiers and supportive spouses. Abigail Adams was only one of many women who shaped our nation—come learn about the others!


What is Structural Racism, and What Does it Explain?

Thursday, March 26
11:00 am, Bristol View 1st Floor Bowditch Room

This session examines how patterns and systems—rather than personal prejudice alone—can shape opportunities and outcomes across communities. We’ll look at history, institutions, and everyday practices to understand how inequality can persist even when individual intentions are good. The focus is on awareness and solutions, not guilt, offering ways to think about fairness and inclusion in society today.
