SUMMARY:Historical Lecture - Washington\, D.C.- Defiance of the Patriots: The Boston Tea Party and the Making of America
DESCRIPTION:On the night of December 16\, 1773\, a party of Bostonians boarded three British vessels and dumped over three hundred chests of tea into Boston Harbor. In addition to objecting to taxation without representation\, the participants were also protesting the Tea Act of 1773\, which forced them to pay a tax on top of the monopoly prices set by the East India Company and benefitted the family of the royal governor of Massachusetts. To commemorate the 250th anniversary of this harbinger of the Revolution\, Benjamin Carp\, professor of history at Brooklyn College\, discusses the event by examining the actions of those who carried out the raid in the context of the global story of British interests in India\, North America and the Caribbean. \nRegistration is requested.

SUMMARY:Remembering the Brig Beaver: Pembroke's Place in the Boston Tea Party
DESCRIPTION:Saturday December 9th\, 2023 \n11:00am \nThe Pembroke Historical Society will partner with the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum\, and Revolution 250 near the Brick Kiln Yard Historic Site to celebrate Pembroke’s connection to the Boston Tea Party. \nThe Brick Kiln shipyard was located in Pembroke from 1730-1848. It consisted of two separate yards\, often with three or four vessels under simultaneous construction\, side by side. The Boston Tea Party ship Beaver was built there as well as many other noteworthy vessels. Captain Benjamin Turner is the first shipbuilder on record to work at this site. Many noted shipbuilders served as his apprentices\, including Ichabod Thomas. Thomas is remembered especially for building one of the ships involved in the Boston Tea Party (December 16\, 1773). Thomas built the Beaver\, at the Brick Kiln Yard. Commissioned by the prominent Rotch family of Nantucket\, it measured 85 feet in length\, with an almost 24 foot beam\, and a draft of only nine feet\, to accommodate Nantucket’s shallow harbor. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, and will include several speakers from various organizations associated with planning the 250th Anniversary events to commemorate the Boston Tea Party\, including the grand-scale reenactment which will take place in Boston on December 16\, 2023. At the conclusion of the speaker series\, the Pembroke Historical Society will present the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum with loose leaf tea collected from locals and patrons\, to be dumped into Boston harbor from the replica of the Brig Beaver during the 250th Anniversary reenactment of the Boston Tea Party! \n(Parking for this event is located at 100 Schoosett Street\, Pembroke\, MA) \n \n \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:"Phillis In Boston"
DESCRIPTION:This November\, Revolutionary Spaces debuts Phillis in Boston\, an original new play dramatizing a key moment in the nation and the life of celebrated poet and enslaved author Phillis Wheatley. Published in 1773\, her book “Reflections on Various Subjects\, Religious and Moral” was the first known book of poetry by an English-speaking person of African descent and the third book published by an American woman. \n  \nWritten by award-winning playwright Ade Solanke and directed by Emmy-nominated director Regge Life\, Phillis in Boston explores the multiple struggles for freedom underway in 1773 Boston. The play celebrates friendship\, love\, community\, and joy by centering Wheatley’s relationships with her friend and confidant Obour Tanner\, her husband-to-be John Peters\, and the dynamic abolitionist Prince Hall. Phillis in Boston also examines slavery in New England through the lens of Wheatley’s complex relationship with her enslaver Susanna Wheatley\, who supported Wheatley’s literary ambitions even as she kept her in bondage. \n  \nThis one-act play debuts at Old South Meeting House in Boston on Friday\, November 3 (with preview performances on November 1 and November 2) and will run for five weeks. Premium and standard tickets are on sale now at RevolutionarySpaces.org and discounts are available for group bookings of 10 or more people.

SUMMARY:"Huzzah! Drinking with John Hancock During the American Revolution" with Brooke Barbier
DESCRIPTION:***PLEASE NOTE: IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE IS NOW SOLD OUT! However\, you can register for the live-stream at the link below.*** \nWhen John Hancock needed to win people over\, he didn’t talk about resisting taxes–he served alcohol. He offered rum punch and wine at his home and paid for lavish meals in taverns to bring people together. By throwing parties\, Hancock gained social and political power among various groups of people\, which repeatedly paid dividends. He smiggled maderia into Boston and one of the most violent mobs during colonial resistance defended him. His popularity also ensured his backing of the Boston Tea Party would lead to broader support in town. \nJoin special guest Brook Barbier for a special night in Abigail’s Tea Room at the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum with historically-inspired cocktails or beer and lively and evocative stories that illuminate the critical role that drinking played in the social\, political\, and cultural fabric of the American Revolution. Brooke Barbier will discuss an oft-ignored aspect of colonial life: the high rate of alcohol consumption and how John Hancock used it to his advantage.

DESCRIPTION:The Boston Tea Party was a political and mercantile protest by The Sons of Liberty in Boston\, Massachusetts on December 16\, 1773.  Considered by many historians to be the  start of the American Revolution\, it was an event with huge consequences for Britain and the Colonies. \n250th Anniversary Boston Tea Party celebrations are being held across our country\, culminating in a full-scale reenactment in Boston on December 16\, 2023. \nThe Friends of South Shore Health education program will lead you into the fun with two historians from the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum. You’ll relive the story through their eyes\, with images and tales gleaned from years of research. What a perfect way to reconnect with Massachusetts’ historically unique role in the birth of our nation!  Great for all ages! \nThis event sponsored by The Friends of South Shore Health\, and is free and open to anyone. \nTo register: call 781-624-8520 or email: bwahlstrom@southshorehealth.org or cmoore@southshorehealth.org \n(A WebX invitation will be sent via email following registration) \n  \nPresenters: \n  \n \nKelly Horan Galante \nAssistant Creative Manager-Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum \n \nJosiah George \nAssistant Creative Manager-Boston Tea Party Ships 7 Museum
