About this Event
In the two and a half centuries since American Independence was declared and secured, little attention has been spent looking into the roles of communities other than those who participated in significant events or were centers of population. Boston, Lexington, Concord, & Bunker Hill play an outsized role in the public memory of the American Revolution. In this talk we will examine the hearts and minds of the people and communities across Massachusetts to understand why they would risk their lives, liberties and fortunes for a new nation.
Jonathan Lane is an historian with the Massachusetts Historical Society and the coordinator for Revolution 250, an organization dedicated to commemorating the American Revolutionary War.
