> major overseas conflict from 1898 until the eve of World War II.
> Jonathan Myerson Katz traveled the world recreating Butler’s journeys.
> In doing so, Katz reveals how memories of U.S. imperialism remain a
> vital force shaping politics and culture across the globe. /Gangsters
> of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and
> Breaking of America’s Empire /tells an urgent story about a formative
> era most Americans have never learned about, but that the rest of the
> world cannot forget.

> *In Celebration of Juneteenth:
> "Slavery and Segregation in Antebellum Massachusetts: The Law of Shaw”*
> *with Gregory Williams*
>
> As Chief Justice of Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court (1830-1860),
> Lemuel Shaw was the most influential state-court justice in 19th
> century America. He decided cases concerning enslaved people who
> escaped to, or were brought to, Massachusetts. . . as well as an
> (unfortunately) influential early school-desegregation case. We begin,
> though, with the 17th-century colonies and the ship "Desire". . .
>
> *• Gregory Williams* was a District Court judge for 15 years, retiring
> in 2015—for his last ten years, he was First Justice of the Edgartown
> District Court. He talks on such topics as Massachusetts historical
> crimes, notable Cape figures such as William Sturgis and Lemuel Shaw,
> and the romantic-macabre. His Facebook page, /Gregory Williams
> Speaks/, continues to signal his scheduled events, but also offers

> */Join Carolyn's family and her many friends in Boston’s peace movement,
> to remember and celebrate the life of Carolyn Poinelli,
> at Community Church of Boston on Sunday, July 10th at 1 PM./*
>
> Carolyn was fiercely independent in her hermitage, and fiercely
> opinionated in her political opinions. Not unlike a lot of members of
> this church, dare I say? Still, for decades, she attended just about
> every event, and actively participated in cooking, cleaning and
> tidying up. She loved our book collection, and spent lots of hours
> organizing it and finding books that she wanted to take home and read.
>
> Carolyn walked and walked and walked the streets of Boston and
> Cambridge, to events, concerts, yoga classes and demonstrations all
> over the city. It was her life. It was her passion.
>
> It was deep into the pandemic. Libraries were closed. Carolyn visited
> Community Church several times each week so we set up a computer for
> her. She came almost daily to study her horoscope, the news, read her
> emails and converse about politics and activism.
>
> Although Carolyn was a constant presence at Community Church, she
> hesitated to join. She had her reasons; maybe she disagreed with some
> of our choices of speakers, or maybe she was just very unique in her
> views. But in March 2021 she made a big deal of signing our Membership
> Book and attended Church service every Sunday until her unfortunate
> accident. —/We miss you. Carolyn Poinelli, PRESENTE! /
