Learn about Maine’s Malaga Island
Portsmouth Herald
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine - Old Berwick Historical Society will present an online lecture on Thursday, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. about Maine’s Malaga Island.
In 1912, the State of Maine evicted a community of African-American and white residents from their homes on Malaga Island. Racism, economic struggles, and eugenics all led to the devastation of this group of people. Presented by Kate McBrien, this talk will explore the history behind this story that was hidden for so many years.
Participants can register for the online lecture up on the Old Berwick Historical Society’s website. Admission is free to members, with a $5 suggested donation for non-members. The lecture is open to the public.
