Come to Bemis Hall on Monday, Oct. 23 at 12:30 to hear Ray Anthony Shepard discuss “The Emancipation Sword: The Story of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment.” He will speak about his just published biography Now or Never!: Massachusetts 54th Infantry’s Fight to End Slavery. The author shared a working draft at the Lincoln Academy in the spring of 2015 and returns to share how and why he wanted to tell the story of the “glory” regiment for a new audience. The Council on Aging provides beverages and dessert. The lectures last about an hour, including a question and answer period. Participants are welcome to stay after the program to continue their discussion. All ages welcome.
