Newburyport Restoration Politics, 1970?Today, from the Perspective of a Newsman

On Wednesday, October 9 at 1:00pm at the First Religious Society Parish Hall, 26 Pleasant Street in Newburyport, Bill Plante will present “Newburyport Restoration Politics, 1970–Today, from the Perspective of a Newsman.”  How, beginning in the 1960s, Historic Newburyport made its mark on the nation’s modern history through national and local politics.  It all began in the early 1950s as the economic realities and evolution of a new political environment in the country resulted in major changes and, ultimately, the birthing of what has become today’s Newburyport.  “Show us the way, and you can do it.” 
 
Bill Plante, born on Dove Street, Newburyport, in 1921, brings the perspective of a newsman who has been observing and reporting on Newburyport’s historic restoration throughout.
 
Come at Noon (for camaraderie), bring your own brown bag lunch.  Coffee and desserts are provided.
