MA Emancipation Day celebration planned; Billerica senator in support


Wicked Local
Last summer, Lexington resident Sean Osborne walked into the office of Billerica Senator Cindy Friedman, D-Arlington, with a story to tell.  
It was the story of a man known as Quock Walker, born into enslavement in Massachusetts during the 18th century.   
When Walker’s enslaver, James Caldwell, died in 1763, his widow remarried and took Walker with her to her new home in Barre. Caldwell had apparently promised Walker his freedom, but this was refused by his new enslaver, Nathaniel Jennison.
In 1781, Walker ran away from Jennison, to the house of Caldwell s brother. Jennison reenslaved Walker, beating him severely.    ....

Lexington to honor Race Amity Day, June 13


Wicked Local
Race Amity Day, the annual holiday that seeks to improve race relations in America through collaboration and cooperation, is set to be celebrated in Lexington on June 13.  
The virtual program will begin at 1 p.m. and will contain multiple parts. This year, the focus will be on artwork and community submissions. Community members are being asked to share their stories, songs and pieces of art with the Human Rights Committee to be included in the program.  
Submissions have already started rolling in, HRC Chair Mona Roy said, with many coming from students and young people. The emphasis of these submissions should be on what the world could look like with improved race relations, with a greater understanding of shared humanity.   ....

Every spring, just in time for Patriots Day, Lexington’s Colonial-era house museums throw open their doors and welcome visitors to tours run by the Lexington Historical Society. One such property is the Hancock-Clarke House, where guides describe the pivotal role the house holds in US history: Once the town’s parsonage, it was here that overnight guests John Hancock and Samuel Adams were awakened by Paul Revere in the early hours of April 19, 1775, just before the first battle of the American Revolution. ....
