On Tuesday 4/13/2021 at 6:30:00 PM, Jill Mudgett will be speaking via Zoom on Murder in the Vermont Woods: A Story About Race, Class, and Gender in the 19th Century. Historian Jill Mudgett tells the story of an Indigenous man from southern New England who came to central Vermont during the late 19th century and was the victim of a murder. Recreating community connections in a rural Vermont hill town, this story is about poverty, racism, disability, and gendered violence against women, but is also an account of Indigenous movement and choice despite great obstacles.

These talks are free, open to the public, and accessible to those with disabilities. They will be held online on the ZOOM platform. Pre registration is REQUIRED by calling Library Director Sharon Ellingwood at the Alice M. Ward Memorial Library at 802-266-7135.
