Connolly Branch of the Boston Public Library

Dr Catia Cecilia Confortini from the Wellesley Colllege Peace and Justice Studies Program will speak on Emily Greene Balch - who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946. In this talk Prof. Confortini will reflect on the legacy of Emily Greene Balch, not only as an scholar and thinker but also as a teacher and activist. Her work for peace and justice as a professor at Wellesley College and as a founder and leader of Women's International League for Peace and Freedom are relevant for today's world, which continue to be mired in the violence of racism and imperialism.
This event is hosted by the JP&nbsp;Historical Society and is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served. The program will use a hybrid format. Please attend in person if you would like, or you can sign up to attend via Zoom using this link: <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wZWiTHBHSUSQ5dAbrQDLSg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wZWiTHBHSUSQ5dAbrQDLSg</a>
In the event the Boston Public Library closes due to a snow event, the event will only be held via Zoom.
