Winston Churchill: Boston Visits, 1900-1949

A lecture and magic lantern show presented by Joseph Hern. Winston Churchill corresponded with Charles Hammond Gibson Jr., signed a book for Charles and wrote a thank you for receiving one of Charles's poems. Both are in the Gibson House Museum's collection.  Mr. Hern's program looks at the motivations for Churchill's visits to Boston, Churchill's Boston speeches and the state of world politics, and what Churchill accomplished during his political career.  A reception with light refreshments will precede the lecture and attendees will receive a commemorative booklet of Churchill's Boston speeches.

Mr. Hern is the head of the New England Churchillians and an attorney at law.
