Change Your Day

A revitalized blog with one mission: to present a moment that jolts your day, triggers new thinking, gets you through traffic tangles, and relieves job stress. Or, more prosaically, accompanies you through the early miles of bike touring through France and Italy. Wherever you are, I aim to change your day.

MARIE EQUI Tour Travels East: Boston and New Bedford Next for Award-Winning Biography

8/25/2016

 
On September 10, 1892, the Times-Mountaineer, one of the local newspapers in The Dalles, Oregon, announced a new arrival from Massachusetts. “Miss Aque, of New Bedford, is in the city and will spend the winter months with her friend, Bessie Holcomb." The notice had to please Equi. She was twenty years old with no high school diploma, little or no money, and scant work experience, but her appearance in the West was treated as an occasion of interest.

- From “
Marie Equi, Radical Politics and Outlaw Passions.”
 
On the very same day as Marie Equi’s arrival in the West, but 124 years later, the Massachusetts book tour for her biography will begin. Over a two-week period, I will present four book talks and appear on AM radio in Boston and New Bedford. Here’s a quick look at the schedule:
  • September 12, Monday, 9 am, WBSM 1420 AM Morning Show, New Bedford
  • September 13, Tuesday, 7 pm Rotch-Jones-Duff House & Garden Museum, New Bedford 
  • September 19, Monday, 12:30–1:20 pm Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, Boston
  • September 19, Monday, 6 pm, The History Project, Boston
  • September 21, Wednesday, 7 pm, New Bedford Free Public Library, Main Branch
