The Trial of George Jacobs Sr., "Witch"?2021-10-27T13:00:00“You tax me for a wizard!” 80-year-old George Jacobs, crippled and toothless, exploded. “You may as well tax me for a buzzard! I have done no harm.” On May 10, 1692, both he and his granddaughter Margaret had been arrested and transported to Salem Town, one of 200 accused of witchcraft. A skeptic of the witchcraft hysteria from the start, he begged the judges to see the situation clearly, but to no avail. In this presentation, we will consider some of the possible causes of the Salem Witch Trials and the “evidence” which led to Mr. Jacobs’
hanging on August 19, one of the 5 men and 14 women who met a similar end. Presenter Marilyn Harris worked in education for over 40 years and in her retirement has continued to teach classes on history and travel. Call the COA at 781-786-6280 to register.

Music of the Great Depression2021-10-28T10:00:00During the Stock Market Crash of 1929 popular singers responded to the economic depression in the U.S. in many different ways. Happy Days Are Here Again was the first of many attempts to cheer up a devastated citizenry, followed by a string of optimistic hits by Ted Lewis. In a Shanty in Old Shanty Town and Woody Guthrie’s Dust Bowl Ballads offered commiseration to thousands who were forced to give up their homes. Bing Crosby’s Brother Can You Spare a Dime and My Forgotten Man went so far as to criticize the U.S. government for neglecting its veterans and working people. The romantic sentiments and dazzling footwork of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers films were a happy distraction to the Depression’s despair and drudgery. Presented by music historian John Clark. Call the COA at 781-786-6280 to register. John will present The Music of World War II on 11/22.
