Begin at the Beginning: Boston’s Founding Documents
A discussion led by historian Abby Chandler and the Partnership of Historic Bostons
Saturday, June 6, 2015, 1:00PM - 3:00PM
Registration required; no fee
Join us for the third of our lively Massachusetts Historical Society/Partnership of Historic Bostons co-hosted discussions exploring the origins of Boston and its founding documents. This conversation will explore the first legal code in the English colonies: Massachusetts 1641 Body of Liberties.
No expertise is required, simply a fascination with 17th century Boston and your thoughts on a Puritan culture that adopted a code of rights and legalized slavery.
