Profiles in Courage: Anne Hutchinson

Adams Academy 8 Adams Street, Quincy

In 1636 the Massachusetts Bay Colony faced its first existential crisis. At its heart stood a woman, Anne Marbury Hutchinson – the daughter of a minister, and an outspoken religious leader in her own right. When two political forces vied for dominance over the young colony, Hutchinson faced a question of moral integrity – denounce her beliefs and remain a respected and wealthy member of her community or hold fast to her truths and lose everything.

On Wednesday, May 21st, at 7pm at the Adams Academy, Quincy Historical Society will host a special screening of the 1965 television series "Profiles in Courage" with an episode highlighting the infamous trial of Anne Hutchinson whose ties to Quincy’s early Mount Wollaston settlement run deep.
