Acton Woman’s Club

On June 19 at 2:00 pm, the Acton Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission invites you to our commemoration of Juneteenth. We begin at the Acton Congregational Church with author Ray Anthony Shephard, who will present a history of Juneteenth and its relevance to other fights for freedom, followed by several musical selections. Around 3:00 pm, we will walk to the Acton Women’s Club where local tour guide Amy Cole will share Acton’s history about Emancipation and local abolitionists. We end with a presentation on how horse culture ties into the histories of Black freedom.

Richard Amir entertained locally in early March.  He was such a hit, the Acton Woman’s Club invited him to perform for the public in the upstairs ballroom of their Federalist-style antique Clubhouse.  Richard’s performance is a blend of music and storytelling.  After a 40 year career in business, Richard taught himself to play the piano at age 66 and discovered a new career. This free performance is offered to the public to celebrate the 110th  Anniversary of the founding of the Acton Woman’s Club, with financial support from the Acton/Boxborough Cultural Council.  For more information about the Club, go to
