Newburyport’s Annual William Lloyd Garrison Lecture
See the Event Press Release HERE.
Every year, Newburyport celebrates William Lloyd Garrison’s legacy on his birthday with a lecture from a well-known author, historian, or public speaker about Garrison’s life, and how it is still relevant today.
This year the talk is “The Gospel According to William Lloyd Garrison: Anti-Racism and the American Truth” and will be given by Edward Carson, the Dean of Multicultural Education at the Governor’s Academy and a leading organizer and activist in the Greater Boston area. Carson will discuss Garrison’s relevancy in twenty-first century issues like voting rights, Critical Race Theory, and Black political thought.
Join us in-person (masks required for attendees) on December 10, 2021 at the Old South Presbyterian Church in Newburyport at 7 PM. For more information and to watch live go to lecture.porthistory.com
This year’s lecture made possible through the support of the Newburyport Preservation Trust, The Newburyport Daily News, Old South Presbyterian Church, a grant from the Massachusetts Humanities Bridge Street fund. Presenting Partners Include The Museum of Old Newbury, and Amesbury’s Imagine Studios
