“A Place to Call My Own:” The Home as a Space for Social Justice
Dawn Hayward, Mary Trainer, RSM and Ruth Picozzi
March 26, 2023
Join us in the living room of Cranaleith’s historic home for a spirited discussion highlighting how three nineteenth-century women– Frances E. W. Harper, Rachel Avery Foster, and Minerva Parker Nichols– used the home as a setting from which to respond to powerful calls for social justice. We will connect their work to the ways in which the “Mill-Rae House” at Cranaleith serves a similar purpose today.
1:30 to 2:00 Opening reception, light refreshments
2:00-3:30 Presentations by Dawn Hayward and Mary Trainer
3:30-4:00 House tours led by Ruth Picozzi
