SUMMARY:The Aviator and the Showman: Amelia Earhart\, George Putnam\, and the Marriage that Made an American Icon
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Laurie Gwen Shapiro\, Documentary Filmmaker and Journalist\nThursday\, March 12\, at 7:00 p.m.\, Charlotte and William Bloomberg\nMedford Public Library\, 111 High Street. (Register) \nThe Aviator and the Showman unveils the untold story of Amelia’s decade-long marriage to George Putnam\, offering an intimate exploration of their relationship and the pivotal role it played in her enduring legacy. Despite her outwardly modest and humble image\, Amelia was fiercely driven and impossibly brave\, a lifelong feminist and trailblazer in her personal and professional life. In this new account\, Laurie Gwen Shapiro will emphasize Earhart’s multifaceted human side\, her struggles\, and her authentic aspirations\, the truths behind her brave pursuits and the compromises she made to fit into societal expectations. Drawing from a trove of new sources including undiscovered audio interviews\, The Aviator and the Showman is a gripping and passionate tale of adventure\, colorful characters\, hubris\, and a complex and a vivid portrait of a marriage that shaped the trajectory of an iconic life.

SUMMARY:The Power of Truth: Early Diversity in a Medford Neighborhood
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the Revalyon family\, free Black Bostonians\, who moved their family to Medford in 1828. \nSpeaker and Local Historian Dee Morris will tell us about Thomas (b. 1777) and Margaret (b. 1781) Revalyon\, free Black Bostonians\, who moved their family in 1828 to a new house on Cross Street in Medford. Thomas owned a popular Main Street barber salon while Margaret attended to the household. After growing up amid Yankee ship carpenters\, three of their children married notable partners: Younger Margaret wed a Black abolitionist\, Charlotte married a local West Indian barber\, and Robert became the soul mate of Keziah Gould a Native American descended from Massasoit\, the Wampanoag who befriended the early Pilgrims. Several Revalyons have found eternal rest in the Cross Street Cemetery section of Oak Grove. The story of their lives in Medford demonstrates the historical diversity of our community.
