>> An (Un)Civil Action: A closer look at violence in Massachusetts history
Mass Humanities marks the 150th anniversary of John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry Armory with discussion programming that addresses the question of civic violence – violent action in support of an idea: revolution, riot, raid, rebellion, and rout.
An (Un)Civil Action features excerpts from John Brown’s Holy War and a fresh look at local history around the Commonwealth, November-March.
