Keith O’Brien will join us in-person at the Concord Museum to talk about his book, Paradise Falls. It tells the true story of one of the landmark environmental crises of the 20th century: the story of Love Canal—a forgotten chemical landfill in a working-class neighborhood of Niagara Falls, and the women who fought and made the government pay attention!
The talk is free and open to the public.
