Historical Heartbeats Lecture On October 5th

The Department of Community and Cultural Affairs’ Historical Heartbeats Lecture Series on October 5 will feature guest lecturers Meredith Ebbin, Andrew Bermingham, Ronald Lightbourne and Lisabet Outerbridge who will share stories about Bermudians who have contributed to our society and whose stories are perhaps not widely known.

Andrew Bermingham will discuss war veteran Fred Dolan, whose story is featured at the Bermuda Historical Society. Lisabet Outerbridge will share stories about her grandfather Stuart Outerbridge, who caused a furore when he married African-American singer Royce Wallace in segregated Bermuda; Meredith Ebbin will speak about the Seaton family – Ruth Seaton James and Judge Earl Seaton; and Ronald Lightbourne will discuss pianist Joseph Richards.

Bold, Beautiful Bermudians Lecture and Tea will be held at the Grotto Bay Hotel and tickets are $10 in advance and available from the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs.

For more information contact Folklife Officer Dr. Kim Dismont Robinson on 292-1681 or kdrobinson@gov.bm
