Much of history has been buried by the passage of time. Join writer and history researcher Avery Yale Kamila who will first read Moral Treason, a paper she wrote for the Elizabeth Oakes Smith Society exploring 19th-century Maine author Oakes Smith’s early work as an editor and involvement in the previously unknown Portland Female Anti-Matrimonial Society of 1833 and the little-explored Portland Graham Riot of 1834. Kamila will then share information of how she uncovered details of these events and how audience members can use the techniques in their own searches for lost history and forgotten ancestors.
