A Snapshot of Acton’s Early Black Residents

Please join local historians Bob Pion, Bill Klauer, and Anne Forbes discussing recent discoveries about Acton’s early Black residents. Black citizens were among the residents here when Acton first became a town in 1735 and several fought in the Revolution at the Concord Bridge and other important New England battles. This talk is the twelfth in the series sponsored by the Acton 250 Committee leading up to April 19, 2025. All welcome in Room 204 of Acton Town Hall.
