Historical author Christian DiSpigna will take us back in time exploring the life and death of Dr. Joseph Warren Founding Martyr. Using his effective arsenal of voice, pen, and sword, Dr. Joseph Warren helped push thirteen colonies toward independence. Without him, the rebellion would have likely faltered, possibly ending in failure. The values and principles he championed endure, while his story remains a tale of inspiration.

This event is sponsored by the Westwood Public Library, Massachusetts Freemasons, and the Dr. Joseph Warren Foundation. For more information about the Massachusetts Freemasons go to: www.massfreemasonry.org and for the Dr. Joseph Warren Foundation go to: www.djwf.org.
