SUMMARY:Gandhi’s American Friend: The Untold Story of Richard Gregg
DESCRIPTION:The Medford Historical Society & Museum presents the program “Gandhi’s American Friend: The Untold Story of Richard Gregg\,” with John Wooding\, emeritus professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts\, Lowell.

SUMMARY:Salem Witchcraft Trials: What Really Happened?
DESCRIPTION:The Medford Historical Society & Museum presents “The Salem Witchcraft Trials: What Really Happened?” with the Hon. Dennis J. Curran. The Salem Witchcraft trials constitute one of the most mysterious and fascinating events in American history. Discover the “perfect storm” of conditions that culminated in tragic circumstances that have haunted us for centuries. Judge Curran will explode five myths behind the outbreak of allegations of witchcraft in colonial America\, examine the villains and heroes involved\, and try to determine the reasons behind a raging mass hysteria. Whether living in 17th-century New England or today\, people are susceptible to the same dark fears and influences. The Salem Witchcraft Trials serve as a powerful reminder of the frailty of the human condition. RSVP through the library’s online calendar. \n
