SUMMARY:"Memories Flow Beneath It\, From Valley to Quabbin" Screening and Talkback
DESCRIPTION:Local filmmaker Roger Hagopian presents his documentary Memories Flow Beneath It\, From Valley to Quabbin. This powerful 69 minute film traces the displacement of people and the loss of a way of life in the Swift River Valley of central Massachusetts when the Quabbin Reservoir flooded four towns in order to create water infrastructure for 52 Boston metropolitan communities\, including Medford. Several interviewees include former valley residents\, historians\, and authors\, including J.R. Greene\, who has written numerous books on the subject. \nThe ever-westward evolution of the water systems begins with springs on the Shawmut Peninsula of Boston in 1630\, an aqueduct from Jamaica Pond\, and involves the consideration of the Mystic Lakes and Spot Pond\, before resorting to the Cochituate System emanating from Natick\, which became insufficient due to the mass immigration of refugees from the Irish Famine\, thus drastically increasing Boston’s population. The Great Boston Fire of 1872 exposed the limitations of the water supply\, leading to the Sudbury and Wachusett systems. Italian immigrants\, some of whom were stonemasons\, found work on these infrastructure projects as the system expanded further. State House debates\, Supreme Court decisions\, and incredible civil engineering innovations\, led to the creation of the Quabbin Reservoir. Former Valley residents recall their rural industrial and agricultural towns\, family life\, and the years leading up to their expulsion. The cold processes of eminent domain and eviction caused lifelong trauma to the valley residents\, especially the elderly. Generations of history were demolished by 1938 and the people were not given housing and employment assistance by the state – they were on their own. \nExpert commentary is given by noted historian\, the late Howard Zinn. The music track is graciously provided by pianist\, Jacqueline Schwab\, who has performed on numerous Ken Burns PBS documentaries\, beginning with The Civil War through The American Revolution. \nAbout the Filmmaker: Roger Hagopian lives in Lexington\, where he learned filmmaking at the local cable television studio there. A history lover since his youth\, he has had film screenings on the Armenians and the Genocide\, World War II veterans\, factory workers\, and local American history\, including the Middlesex Canal\, which ran through Medford\, at universities\, high schools\, public libraries\, historical societies\, churches\, temples\, community centers\, and other public and private venues. He has also appeared on local cable television stations and radio programs. After the film\, Roger will be present to discuss it with the audience.

SUMMARY:(How to Avoid) Death in Glacier National Park with Randi Minetor on ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:Join us to discuss the 10th anniversary (and fully revised & updated 2nd edition!) of Randi’s book\, “Death in Glacier National Park: Stories of Accidents and Foolhardiness in the Crown of the Continent”. Randi is the  author of eight books (working on the 9th!) in the non-fiction “Death in the National Parks” series\, explores the fatal mistakes people make when they venture into unfamiliar wilderness. Collected here are some the most gripping accounts in park history and new stories about people losing the battle with natural forces or perishing from their own folly. Be ready for your upcoming summer vacation plans with this important and\, probably\, humorous presentation! \nBorn and raised in Rochester\, NY\, Randi Minetor discovered the backcountry wonders of America’s national parks in 1992 with her husband\, photographer/lighting designer Nic Minetor. That first trip changed her life\, and by 2000\, the Minetors had pledged to see all 430 national parks in their lifetimes. They found a way to subsidize this passion in 2006\, when they began writing and photographing books on the parks for The Globe Pequot Press (now Rowman & Littlefield). Today Randi has written more than 90 books\, including seven books in the nonfiction Death in the National Parks series\, ten hiking guides in New York State\, several bird-finding guides\, and even reference books on health topics. To date\, they have visited 364 national parks. In addition\, Nic’s photography appears in eight Quick Reference Guides to the Birds\, Trees\, and Wildflowers of New York City and New York State\, and the Trees and Wildflowers of the Mid-Atlantic States. The Minetors live in Rochester\, NY.

SUMMARY:The Invention of Charlotte Brontë with Graham Watson on ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:We’ll be delving into the primary sources – the manuscripts and letters – that informed Graham’s book “The Invention of Charlotte Brontë: A New Life”. Join us  as Graham discusses Charlotte’s life – the myths vs. reality – as well as his own research and writing of this fantastic book! \nAbout the book: Charlotte Brontë had a life as seemingly dramatic as her heroine Jane Eyre. Turning her back on her tragic past\, Charlotte reinvented herself as an acclaimed author\, a mysterious celebrity\, and a passionate lover. Doing so meant burning many bridges\, but her sudden death left her friends and admirers with more questions than answers. Tasked with telling the truth about Brontë’s life\, her friend\, the novelist Elizabeth Gaskell\, uncovered secrets of illicit love\, family discord\, and professional rivalries more incredible than any fiction. The result\, a tell-all biography\, was so scandalous it was banned and rewritten twice in six months—but not before it had given birth to the legend of the Brontës. Through evaluating key events as well as introducing new archival material into the story\, The Invention of Charlotte Brontë presents a different\, darker take on one of the most famous women writers of the nineteenth century\, showing Charlotte to be a strong but flawed individual.. \nAbout the Presenter: Graham Watson is a specialist in the Brontës and Elizabeth Gaskell\, and he is currently researching Victorian literary identities at the University of Glasgow. He has published a number of papers in Brontë Studies and has recently joined the journal’s peer-review board. This is his first book. Graham lives in Glasgow.
