PLAN YOUR EXPERIENCE    HISTORY & HERITAGE

Please join the Jamaica Plain Historical Society and the JP Tuesday Club for a 'First Tuesday' program in celebration of the Margaret Fuller Bicentennial. We will present a lecture entitled ‘Margaret Fuller and the Transcendentalists’. Margaret Fuller was an author, editor, journalist, literary critic, educator, Transcendentalist, and women’s rights advocate. She helped educate the women of her day by leading a series of Conversations in which women were empowered to read, think and discuss important issues of the day. Margaret has numerous accomplishments which will be discussed during the event. Rev. Rankin has been a minister at First Parish of Concord and has taught classes on Emerson, Thoreau, Fuller and the Transcendentalists. She has also led a trip to Italy to ‘trace the steps of the Transcendentalists.’
