You are all invited!
On Monday, October 26, 2015, at 6:30 PM, a Lizzie Borden talk will be given at the Swansea Community Center, 260 Ocean Grove Avenue, Swansea, MA, sponsored by The Friends of the Swansea Public Library.
“Lizzie Borden: From Heroine to Halloween Horror.” Presented by Dr. Stefani Koorey.
Even though Lizzie Borden was acquitted for the double murder of her father and stepmother, her celebrity has permutated from being the innocent victim of police incompetence to a national figure of Halloween horror. How did this happen? And in what ways has Lizzie Borden the hatchet-wielding murderess become ingrained in our collective memory?
Refreshments will follow the Question and Answer session.
Free and open to the public.
