The Robbins Story - Concord's African American History

Join us for this unique opportunity to learn from Jen Turner, Executive Director of the Robbins House in Concord, Massachusetts. Jen will be exploring the history of The Robbins House and its occupants through the lens of Ellen Garrison. Ellen Garrison lived from birth in the house that would become known as The Robbins House, attended Concord Public Schools, and eventually became a civil rights activist and educator in the South during post-Civil War Reconstruction.

Journey with us as we discuss what motivated Ellen to become a teacher and one of the first African American women in the United States to challenge segregation laws in the country after the Civil War.
