SUMMARY:“Birdmen Over Boston Harbor: The 1910 Harvard-Boston Aero Meet” Live Presentation & Book Signing with author Wayne Miller
DESCRIPTION:By popular demand Quincy Historical Society is pleased to offer a reprisal of our March 6th event debuting a new book by local historian Wayne G. Miller on the legendary 1910 Harvard-Boston Aero Meet held at Squantum. This event will take place on Wednesday\, May 7th\, at 2pm\, at the Adams Academy\, 8 Adams Street. \nThe 1910 Harvard-Boston Aero Meet came at a historically significant moment in time when almost no one in New England had seen or heard an aeroplane in flight. This unprecedented phenomenon created an explosion of enthusiasm. An estimated one million people either paid to see the spectacle or found free viewing points along beaches in Dorchester\, South Boston\, and Quincy. For two weeks many of the biggest stars in aviation—known at the time as “Birdmen”– thrilled with daredevil stunts while setting American and World records. \nIn his book\, the first comprehensive of history\, Miller sets the record straight about the importance and many of the details of the 1910 Harvard-Boston Aeromeet. His presentation will take the audience through this amazing story and share some of the book’s eighty exclusive photographs. \nWayne G. Miller is the author of “Quincy Massachusetts: A Shipbuilding Tradition” and “Fore River Shipyard\,” and the co-author with Dan Simmons and Corinne Waite of “A Quincy Book of Days.” He is editor and principal writer of the Historical Society’s “Quincy History” newsletter. \nThis event is open to all and free to attend. A book signing will follow the presentation. We hope to see you there

SUMMARY:Profiles in Courage: Anne Hutchinson
DESCRIPTION: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\, a 17th century religious leader in colonial Massachusetts with ties to Quincy’s early Mount Wollaston settlement.\n\n\n\nIn 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.\n\n\n\nIn 1963 Anne Hutchinson’s story was selected to be featured in a television adaptation of John F. Kennedy’s book Profiles in Courage. Hutchinson is played brilliantly by legendary British actress Dame Wendy Hiller.\n\n\n\nThis program will screen the Anne Hutchinson episode of Profiles in Courage\, followed by a freewheeling discussion about the film\, the “Antinomian Controversy”\, life in Puritan Massachusetts\, and the legacy of Anne Hutchinson’s principled stand for religious civil liberties.\n\n\n\nThis program is part of Quincy Historical Society’s year-long celebrations of Quincy’s 400th anniversary. This event is open to all\, and free to attend.
