Amelia Earhart: Beyond the Skies
Thursday, March 6 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeThe Medford Historical Society & Museum presents a talk at the library, “Amelia Earhart: Beyond the Skies,” with Earhart enthusiast Margaret L. Arnold, Ph.D. Most people know that Amelia Earhart was a pioneering pilot who disappeared over the Pacific Ocean in 1937. But did you know she lived in Medford and worked in Boston? And that she developed her own line of clothing and luggage? She also fought for women’s rights and equality, and just last year Amelia was voted one of America’s Greatest Mentors. Learn about the life and legacy of this courageous American icon from Arnold, former Associate Provost of Academic Programs and Dean of Graduates Studies at Wentworth Institute of Technology. American Sign Language interpretation will be available. Reserve a seat by registering through the library’s online calendar.
