Page 4 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE – Friday, August2, 2019 Dr. Allison Horrocks to give lecture on Harriet Hanson Robinson at Malden Public Library P lease join us on Tuesday, Aug. 6 at 6:30 p.m. for a lecture on the life of Malden resident Harriet Hanson Robinson presented by Dr. Allison Horrocks of the Lowell National Historic Park. The program is free and will be held at the Malden Public Library (36 Salem St.). Over the next year, many communities will celebrate the passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment, which extended the right to vote to women in the United States. This talk will explore the life story of Harriet Hanson Robinson, a suffragist and activist who once lived in Malden. While in Lowell, Harriet Robinson contributed to The Lowell Offering, a textile workers’ magazine. Yet it was during her years in Malden that Robinson became more connected to a wider world of abolitionists, woman’s rights advocates, and intellectuals. At 23 Harriet married William Stevens Robinson, a journalist and antislavery activist, and moved to Malden. Robinson was the first woman to speak before the Select Committee on Woman Suffrage in Congress. She and her daughter, Harriet Lucy Shattuck, organized the National Women’s Suffrage Association of Massachusetts. This talk will put Robinson’s life in historical context, providing insight into the broader social movements that surrounded her and the particular challenges she faced as a woman who reinvented herself several times. Horrocks is a public historian who works as a Park RangANGELO’S FULL "Over 40 Years of Excellence!" 1978-2019 Regular Unleaded $2.559 Mid Unleaded $2.799 Super $2.859 Diesel Fuel $2.839 KERO $4.759 Diesel $2.559 SERVICE HEATING OIL 24-Hour Burner Service Call for Current Price!

We will be showing “Smallfoot,” a 2018 animated family film about a yeti who meets a “smallfoot” (human). The Chicago Sun-Times writes: “A bright young Yeti finds something he thought didn’t exist: a human. News of this throws the simple yeti community into an uproar over what else might be out there in the big world beyond their snowy village, in an all-new story about friendship, courage, and the joy of discovery. The movie is a zippy, silly, zany, cheery, little tale.” The movie features the voices of Channing Tatum, Zendaya, Common and others. CinemaScore gives the film an A- grade. It is rated PG and runs for 96 minutes. Join us on the front lawn for this fun, family-friendly and crowd-pleasing movie. Free popcorn will be provided. Thank you to our generous sponsor Eastern Bank. This film is free and open to the public. Movie times are approximate. Please call the Malden Public Library at 781-324-0218 for more information.
