Elizabeth Freeman is a little-known national hero, and a symbol of courage and spirit to all who cherish freedom. She was among the first slaves in Massachusetts to sue for and win her freedom. During the Revolutionary War, she heard the Massachusetts Constitution read aloud, and heard these words:                      âAll men are born free and equalâŚ.â Freeman recognized the potential legal and moral significance of these words and sought out an attorney to sue for her freedom under the newly-ratified state constitution. With the help of an attorney who was an abolitionist, she pled her case for freedom in a western Massachusetts court. The jury ruled in her favor and she became the first African-American woman set free under the Massachusetts constitution. Her case helped end slavery in Massachusetts. Justice Dennis J. Curran (ret.) served as a Massachusetts trial judge for 15 years. He is a graduate of Boston Latin School, the University of Pennsylvania (B.A. and M.A.) and the University of Virginia School of Law.

We welcome you to register for a thrilling conversation with Rebecca F. Kuang (R.F. Kuang) as she chats with us about her New York Times bestselling novel, Yellowface. Yellowface grapples with questions of diversity, racism, and cultural appropriation, as well as the terrifying alienation of social media. In Yellowface, Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars. But Athenaâs a literary darling. June Hayward is literally nobody. Who wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athenaâs death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athenaâs just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers during World War I. So what if June edits Athenaâs novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Songâcomplete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesnât this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? Thatâs what June claims, and the New York Times bestseller list seems to agree. But June canât get away from Athenaâs shadow, and emerging evidence threatens to bring Juneâs (stolen) success down around her. As June races to protect her secret, she discovers exactly how far she will go to keep what she thinks she deserves. White lies, dark humor, and deadly consequences await within the pages of Yellowface. With its totally immersive first-person voice, Kuangâs novel is timely, razor-sharp, and eminently readable. Register to join the conversation!   This program, brought to you by the Shrewsbury Public Library Foundation in partnership with the Library Speakers Consortium, is free and open to the public.

The May meeting of Reading Glasses, SPL's book group for adults in their 20s and 30s, will be on Thursday, May 23rd in a hybrid format. We will meet in the Learning Lab on the 2nd Floor, and well as on Google Meet. We'll be discussing "The Mayor of Maxwell Street" by Avery Cunningham. "The year is 1921, and America is burning. A fire of vice and virtue rages on every shore, and Chicago is its beating heart. Nelly Sawyer is the daughter of the âwealthiest Negro in America,â whose affluence catapulted his family to the heights of Black society. After the unexpected death of her only brother, Nelly becomes the premier debutante overnight. But Nelly has aspirations beyond society influence and marriage. For the past year, she has worked undercover as an investigative journalist, sharing the achievements and tribulations of everyday Black people living in the shadow of Jim Crow. Her latest assignment thrusts her into the den of a dangerous vice lord: the so-called Mayor of Maxwell Street. Born in rural Alabama to a murdered biracial couple, Jay Shorey knows firsthand what it means to be denied a chance at the American dream. When a tragic turn of fate gave Jay a rare path out, he took it without question. He washed up on Chicagoâs storied shores and forged his own way to the top of the cityâs underworld, running Chicago's swankiest speakeasy, where the rich and famous rub elbows with gangsters and politicians alike. When Nellyâs and Jayâs paths cross, she recruits him to help expose the Mayor and bring about lasting change in a corrupt city. But Jay also introduces a whole new world to Nelly, one where her horizons can extend beyond the confines of her ivory tower. Trapped between the monolith of Jim Crow, the inflexible world of the Black upper class, and the violence of Prohibition-era Chicago, Jay and Nelly work together and stoke the flames of a love worth fighting for. Debut author Avery Cunninghamâs stunning novel is at once an epic love story, a riveting historical drama, and a brilliant exploration of Black society and perseverance when the â20s first began to roar." New attendees, please email [email protected] to be added to the notification list. All attendees will receive a Google Meet invite closer to the meeting date. https://shrewsburyma.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/reading-glasses-4/
