The Goodwin Forum, Concord Public Library Main Branch

Join Concord public historian, Richard Smith as he tells the story of Thoreau’s civil disobedience and the Reform movements of the 19th Century that made Concord a hotbed for human rights activism. Are Thoreau’s words and actions more powerful and influential than they were in 1849? What is Concord’s legacy of protest? And can civil disobedience effect true social change?

Tea and light refreshments will be served.   This event is free and open to the public.
