To commemorate Marie Equi’s birthday on April 7, Politics & Passions will present a visitor’s view of her hometown, New Bedford, Massachusetts. In October 2004 Michael Helquist and Dale Danley researched Equi’s early years – from her birth in 1872 until her departure in 1892 for an Oregon homestead outside The Dalles. Many of the buildings familiar to her childhood and teenage years still stand and reflect the distinction of this historic southeast Massachusetts city.
