Attend in Person or Virtually via Zoom
Presented by Catherine Saunders and Lee Blake
Launched in 2018, the New Bedford Whaling Museum project Lighting the Way: Historic Women of SouthCoast explores the historical impact of women from the region. As educators and philanthropists, abolitionists and crusaders for social justice, investors and confectioners, sister sailors and millworkers, women from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds have shaped their SouthCoast Massachusetts communities, the nation, and the world. Lighting the Way is unearthing remarkable stories of women’s callings that required grit, tenacity, and enduring commitment to their families, careers and communities.
Lighting the Way is amplifying history by revealing these previously untold stories of vision, determination, and perseverance through profiles on the Lighting the Way website; resources and programs for educators and school groups; walking tours, forums, and other activities; and a self-guided tour. Lighting the Way provides thought-provoking programs that enhance our understanding of history, encourage civic engagement and voter participation, and enrich the cultural life of the SouthCoast.
