On Sunday 4 October at 2pm, Portsmouth Historical Society presents JEFFERSON’S DREAM, a concert and reading presented by former Portsmouth Poet Laureate, John Perrault.
Based on his new book and CD of the same title just published by Hobblebush Books, the program focuses on eight great Americans—women and men—who carried the values of the Declaration forward into our lives. Through the medium of ballads, John Perrault traces Jefferson’s vision as it dramatically broadens with Lincoln’s reading, and gives impetus to abolitionism and women’s rights. He will be joined by popular Seacoast musicians, Barbara London and Mike Rogers.
The program is part of the Sunday Salon Series at the Portsmouth Historical Society’s Discover Portsmouth Center. Tickets are $10 ($7 for PHS Members) and may be purchased at the door. For information contact the Portsmouth Historical Society at info@portsmouthhistory.org or 603-436-8420.
