SUMMARY:Gold & Water | Rumi with Haleh Liza Gafori & Musicians
DESCRIPTION: “These stunning translations of Master Rumi\, at once gustatory and spiritual\, cut the gloom of our existential doings. Imperative now\, as ever\, to know this beauty and love.”\n– ANNE WALDMAN \n  “Water is immediate and timeless. These poems imprint on the heart. To read these verses is to enter mystery and paradox\, to be burnished by the sacred fire and broken open by the holiest dance.”\n– SULEIKA JAOUAD \n“Gorgeous\, fluent\, and faithful translations. Gafori renders Rumi’s voice on the page with an original integrity that is as skilled as it is unforgettable.”\n– PADRAIG O’TUAMA \nHaleh Liza Gafori is a performance artist\, translator\, vocalist\, poet\, and musician born in NYC of Persian descent. Her acclaimed book of translations\, GOLD\, Poems by Rumi\, was published by New York Review Books in 2022\, and her second volume\, WATER\, will be released on April 22\, 2025\, also by NYRB Classics. A bicultural woman with ears tuned to the music of American free verse as well as to the subtleties of the Persian text\, Gafori aims to transmit the whirling movement and leaping progression of thought and imagery in Rumi’s poems into contemporary American poetry. Gafori is a 2024 MacDowell fellow and the recipient of a 2023 New York State Council on the Arts grant supporting the development of her cross-media performance piece based on GOLD. Weaving translations\, original text\, and musical compositions sung in Persian and English\, she offers audiences glimpses of the astonishing rhythm and wordplay of Rumi’s original text\, while uncovering how deeply and urgently the poetry dialogues with our times. Gafori’s translations and her original writings have been published by various journals and presses\, including Harvard Review\, Columbia University Press\, the Brooklyn Rail\, Literary Hub\, Palewell Press\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:Days of Danger: Lexington's Robbins & Follen families and the risks they took to fight slavery
DESCRIPTION:Some Lexingtonians were part of anti-slavery efforts in Massachusetts as early as the 1830s. Learn how families and individuals associated with the Ellen Stone Building—like the Robbins\, Stone\, and Follen families and activists like Rev. Theodore Parker—worked to be heard in these early days despite significant opposition from those who profited from slavery. Hear how these anti-slavery advocates continued their efforts up through the 1850s when dramatic events in Boston led to open conflict with “slavecatchers” seeking to capture self-emancipated Black residents\, and the tide of public opinion began to turn.

SUMMARY:Pride Month Lecture: Longfellow Legacies
DESCRIPTION:When most people—especially in Lexington—hear the name Henry Wadsworth Longfellow today\, they probably think of his 1860 poem\, “Paul Revere’s Ride.” But what about the man behind the famous verses?\n\nIn his personal life\, Longfellow was surrounded by people who we would today consider members of the LGBTQ+ community\, including friends\, siblings\, children and grandchildren. For this special Pride Month presentation\, public historian Meaghan Michel will explore LGBTQ+ history through three generations of the Longfellow family. Join us and learn how queer people in the 19th and early 20th centuries faced hardships\, found love and acceptance\, and made their mark on history.\n\nMeaghan Michel is an independent historian with a B.A. in Public History from Suffolk University and a decade of experience as a ranger at the National Parks of Boston\, including four years at Longfellow House-Washington’s Headquarters National Historic Site. She is currently a guide with HubTown Tours and a volunteer at The History Project.\n\nThis event is brought to you in partnership with LexPride!\n\n$10 for Lexington History Museums members\, $15 for non-members\n\nEventbrite registrants are automatically enrolled in the Lexington History Museums’ weekly newsletter.

SUMMARY:Declaring Independence Then & Now
DESCRIPTION:This dramatic presentation\, created by Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area\, aims to find out how our local towns read and reacted to the Declaration of Independence. Across the colonies\, and particularly in Massachusetts\, towns debated what freedom meant to them and grappled with the grievances aired in the official Declaration. What did the words in the final document mean to them? Costumed reenactors will bring life to the words of the past\, with narration by former State Representative Jay Kaufman. Rounding out our evening will be a performance by the Lexington Historical Society Colonial Singers. Some of our favorite tunes from the 18th century were highly political\, and many of them were also taken from popular English military music!\n\nFREE!

DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Quock Walker Day\, aka Massachusetts Emancipation Day\, with ABCL! \nJoin us for the fifth annual Quock Walker Day celebrations in Lexington on Saturday\, July 5\, 2025. \nCelebrate the 242nd Anniversary of Massachusetts Emancipation Day and hear how the Revolutionary War and the Black Patriots of Lexington and Massachusetts set the stage for Quock Walker’s judicial victories. His 1781 civil lawsuit for battery led to the 1783 criminal case that ended slavery in Massachusetts. \nJoin us for the 5th annual Quock Walker Day Community Celebration at the Lexington Visitors Center Lawn\, 1875 Massachusetts Avenue\, Lexington\, MA 02420 – FREE. The festivities start at 11 a.m. with music and recitation of the Governor’s Quock Walker Day proclamation. \nFIND YOUR JOY at any age with storytellers\, Farm to Plate Caribbean American Food Truck\, a dance workshop\, Black heritage scavenger hunts\, hands-on flax processing demonstration\, military reenactors\, and musical performance by Rhythms of Ghana. Festivities close with a poetry recital at 2 p.m. \nHonor the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington\, which kick-started the Revolutionary War and paved the way for Massachusetts to adopt a state constitution in 1780. In 1783\, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court confirmed that the idea of slavery is inconsistent with the 1780 Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. \nRain Location for the 5th annual Quock Walker Day Community Celebration is First Parish of Lexington\, 7 Harrington Rd\, Lexington\, MA 02421 \nThank you to our partners and vendors: Church of Our Redeemer\, Clarke’s Cakes & Cookies\, Fresh Food Generation\, First Parish of Lexington\, Follen Church\, Hancock UCC\, LexFarm\, Lexington Visitors Center\, Rhythms of Ghana\, 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment Company A\, and the William Diamond Junior Fife and Drum Corps. \nCome early for colonial history and music\, and stay for the concert by Rhythms of Ghana. \nThis event is free! \nBONUS – Quock Walker Day Storytelling at Lexington Visitors Center – 9:45 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. \nDuring Quock Walker Day at the Lexington Visitors Center\, featured storytellers will celebrate the 242nd Anniversary of Massachusetts Emancipation Day and the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. They will communicate memories of colonial Massachusetts\, along with tales of resilience\, ingenuity\, emancipation\, and patriotism from the 18th and 19th centuries. \nBackground \nQuock Walker Day celebrates the Massachusetts Supreme Court decision of July 8\, 1783\, that found a White enslaver guilty of assault on Quock Walker\, a freedom-seeking Black man\, and agreed with Chief Justice Cushing that the ideas of slavery and perpetual servitude were incompatible with the state constitution. \nThe Quock Walker trials span from 1781 to 1783. In 1781\, Quock Walker\, a young man from Barre\, MA\, and of Akan and/or Ewe lineage\, filed a civil suit against Nathaniel Jennison for assault and battery. Mr. Walker was found by the jury to be free and was awarded 50 pounds. Following appeals and a criminal case\, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court found Jennison guilty of assault and agreed that the ideas of slavery and perpetual servitude were incompatible with the state constitution. \nMr. Walker’s fight through the legal system to safeguard his natural freedom resulted in the end of slavery in Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion of The Black Patriots of Lexington: Venus Roe
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 242nd Anniversary of Massachusetts Emancipation Day\, aka Quock Walker Day \nQuock Walker was enslaved in Barre\, MA. His 1781 civil lawsuit for battery led to the 1783 criminal case that ended slavery in Massachusetts. Venus Roe was enslaved by Jonas Roe in Lexington. At about three years old\, she was gifted to Smitheren Reed of Woburn District. Venus Roe was emancipated in the wake of the third Quock Walker case\, Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Nathaniel Jennison. \nJoin the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington (ABCL) and Cary Library for a virtual screening of the Venus Roe episode of the Black Patriots of Lexington YouTube series\, a co-production of ABCL\, LexMedia and Tricons 2 Red Tails. The Black Patriots of Lexington is a nine-part series where Sean D. Osborne has conversations with acclaimed historians\, reenactors and educators to provide insights into 11 Black patriots who played significant roles in the American Revolution. Five of those patriots were active combatants on April 19\, 1775. Three of those soldiers were Lexington residents\, and two were Afro-Indigenous soldiers from Natick who fired on retreating British Regulars near the Lexington Green. \nIn the Venus Roe episode\, public historian Margaret Micholet and curator Stacey Fraser present the unique viewpoint of Venus Roe\, who was an enslaved servant at the home of Smitheren Reed and Captain James Reed of Woburn District (now Burlington). On April 19\, 1775\, the Reed home sheltered John Hancock and Samuel Adams and served as a temporary prison for up to twelve British Regulars. \nA Q&A will follow with Stacey Fraser\, Margaret Micholet and Sean D. Osborne. \nRegistration is required. \nThis program is presented in partnership with the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington (ABCL).
