While the Monday holiday leaves plenty of time for you to look over Paul Revere’s deposition recounting the events of 19 April 1775, it also means we have less time for public programs this week.  We are offering two great programs, providing excellent opportunities for folks to visit the MHS.  And be sure to check out our online calendar for other upcoming events. 

On Thursday, 21 April, at 5:30 PM the Boston Seminar on the History of Women and Gender brings Dayo Gore of the University of Massachusetts – Amherst to the MHS to discuss the paper “Engendering and Internationalizing the Long Black Freedom Struggle.”  Ruth Feldstein of Rutgers University at Newark will give the comment.  This program is free and open to all.  Advance copies of the seminar paper are available, for a small subscription fee, through the MHS website. 

On Saturday, 23 April, at 10.00 AM our weekly building tour, The History and Collections of the MHS, departs our front lobby for a ninety minute tour of the building’s public spaces.
