Lifelong Learning Lecture: The Boston Molasses Flood

Guest speaker: Dr. Jon Huibregtse, Professor Emeritus, History, Framingham State University

In January 1919, a molasses storage tank in Boston North End collapsed, flooding the neighborhood with approximately 2 million gallons of molasses. The 25-foot high tidal wave of molasses destroyed buildings, almost knocked over the elevated railroad track, and killed 21 people. Learn the reasons for the tank’s collapse and its aftermath which led to greater regulation of construction and a huge (for the period) civil judgment against the tank’s owner.

Lifelong Learning Lecture: Elizabeth Gaskell and the Perils of Biography

Guest speaker: Dr. Helen Heineman, President Emerita, Framingham State University

Tasked with telling the story of Charlotte Brontë’s tragic life, writer and friend Elizabeth Gaskell investigated, uncovering secrets more incredible than any fiction. Her book was so controversial it was banned within weeks. Ever since, historians have argued about how much of it is true. Mrs. Gaskell stipulated in her will that no one could write her own life story until all parties concerned had died. This lecture describes Mrs. Gaskell’s biography and assesses the truth of her representation.
