SUMMARY:Sunday Salon: Slavery in Massachusetts
DESCRIPTION:Friends Program – Public Historian Dr. Kyera Singleton : Slavery in Massachusetts\nSUNDAY\, FEBRUARY 8 • 2:00—3:30 PM\nLibrary Community Room • Needham Free Public Library\n1139 Highland Avenue\, Needham\, MA\, 02494 \n\nPublic Historian Dr. Kyera Singleton : Slavery in Massachusetts  \nIn the 19th century\, Massachusetts was known as the heart of the abolitionist movement. However\, in the 17th and 18th century\, slavery was a huge component of Massachusetts society and its growing economy. \nDr. Kyera Singleton\, executive director of the Royall House and Slave Quarters in Medford\, will discuss how the myth making around the American Revolution has obscured the history of slavery in Massachusetts. The talk will focus on the stories of those enslaved in places such as Boston and outlying areas like Medford and Needham before gradual abolition in Massachusetts due to a court decision in 1783. \nA public history scholar\, Dr. Singleton holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in the Department of American Culture. She is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow for the Slavery\, Colonialism\, and their Legacies Project at Tufts University. She has held prestigious academic fellowships at Harvard and Emory Universities\, among other institutions. She is a member of the City of Boston’s Commemoration Commission and the Massachusetts Special Commission on the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution. \nThis Program is sponsored by the Friends of the Needham Public Library. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Unlaunch’d Voices: an Evening with Walt Whitman
DESCRIPTION:Unlaunch’d Voices: an Evening with Walt Whitman. Conceived and performed by Stephen Collins\, Written by Michael Z. Keamy. \nUnlaunch’d Voices opens with the elderly Whitman on the evening of his seventieth birthday. The audience is a visitor in his room as he prepares for his birthday celebration. Whitman begins to reminisce and to question his success as a man and a poet. He tells us his work has proved to be “less than a failure….” He remembers a mystical experience he had in his thirty-seventh year that inspired him to write poetry. \nDuring the telling\, Whitman transforms into his young vibrant self and we begin to trace back along with him the experiences that led to the creation of Leaves Of Grass\, his lifetime work. The first part of the performance explores Whitman’s preoccupation with the self and his resolve to write with “free and brave thought…” We revel with him as he celebrates his body and himself and are confidants as he shares his struggle with his sexual self. In the second part of the performance\, Whitman’s life is changed forever by the occurrence of the Civil War. It is here that he finds “… the most important work of my life…” nursing the wounded soldiers in the hospitals. Through poetry and readings of actual letters\, we experience Whitman’s movement from selfishness and selflessness and his growth into a mature artist who is at peace about “himself\, God and death.”
