Since 2015 I have written approximately 50 columns for the Stoneham Independent, our weekly paper. The thread that ties them together is, they are all about life in Stoneham, Massachusetts. A majority of them delve into the past for stories that, to me, deserve telling. Some of them relate to what’s going on in our town today. I’ve posted links to the columns below.
This February (2017) I began a series of six columns on slavery in Stoneham, MA, and its aftermath. This series appears below:
“Of Human Bondage”
Slavery and a new Constitution
