Description

Start (or restart) your civic journey by joining Revolutionary Spaces at the Old South Meeting House for Your Voice in This House to listen to the inspiring stories of activists, historians, and elected officials who overcame self-doubt and redefined themselves as civic change agents at the local, state, and national levels. 

This program is the sequel to All the Voices in the House, a powerful reading and reinterpretation of 18th century petitions from the balcony of the Old State House on May 13 that reminds us that the rights and privileges we have today are the result of ordinary people who took the risk of raising their voices for change.

Take your place in the unfinished story of American democracy as you sit inside the Old South Meeting House, the place where ordinary people debated the colony’s relationship with Great Britain in the run-up to the American Revolution. Your Voice in this House is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 6:00 pm and the program will begin at 6:30 pm. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. This program is made possible by the generous support of The Lowell Institute.
