Sarah Grimke Speaks! 

April 7, 2 PM
Old Meeting House/First Parish Church, Groton

In August of 1837 the Grimke sisters brought their anti-slavery and women’s rights lecture to the area. It was here in Groton that Sarah Grimke posted two serialized letters on the condition of women. In a 50-minute presentation, historian and performance artist Chris Potts shares deeply personal stories and impassioned public writings that forged Sarah’s path to human rights activism and established her place among the greatest reformers.
 
Co-sponsored by Groton Neighbors, Groton History Center, and the Groton Public Library.
