SUMMARY:Acton COA Presents: Reminiscing Round Table: 20th Century Review 1980-1989 with Dawn Gomez
DESCRIPTION:Our journey continues and this month we will be discussing the 1980’s. Life in the United States during that decade had an undeniable sense of momentum. Many people enjoyed a booming economy\, rising consumer culture\, and the excitement of rapid technological change. Personal computers were  beginning to enter homes\, cable TV expanded entertainment options\, and pop culture thrived.  But the 80’s also carried serious challenges. Economic gains were uneven and many communities faced widening inequality. The AIDS crisis devastated countless lives. Even the cultural energy of the decade came with pressure—materialism\, intense competition\, and a sense that success was measured by consumption. The result is a time remembered as both vibrant and troubled\, full of innovation but also marked by deep social tensions. Come learn more and share your own family stories as well. Dawn Gomez\, Reminiscing Round Table Founder\, provides topic-based programs for seniors at assisted living and senior center communities.

SUMMARY:Library and Friends of Pine Hawk: "Tahattawan’s World" author talk
DESCRIPTION:Who were the Indians who lived in the Acton area before the English arrived? It is widely understood that this band\, led by their sachem Tahattawan\, transferred Musketaquid/Concord to the English in the 1630s\, adopted Christianity\, settled down nearby at Nashobah/Littleton\, endured rough handling during King Philip’s War in the 1670s\, and then merged into the general diaspora of Christian Indians in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. \nLocal historian Brent Ranalli has undertaken a fresh\, close reading of the source documents from the seventeenth century for a new book project.  This talk presents some of his findings\, enhancing our understanding of the band and their story. \nPlease register at https://tinyurl.com/Ranalli-May14 \nPresented by the Friends of Pine Hawk with support from Acton Library and in partnership\nwith Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area during the Hidden Treasures Festival of Nature\, Culture\n& History. \nReasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities are available upon request by emailing reference@acton-ma.gov.
