In this 2-part portrayal, audiences will walk through the personal and professional trials and triumphs of this heroic, principled politician. You'll discover her secrets to building alliances and staring down bullies to enact legislation to help make government a champion for working people and retirees.

The Blizzard of ’78
Michael Tougias, author of The Storm of the Century,
recounts how New England was knocked to its knees on February 6th and 7th, 1978,
by the incredible snow and wind referred to locally as the worst storm of the century.
This history, combined with stunning photographs and riveting text, will reawaken
memories of the "Blizzard of '78." The lecture will follow the storm through its
progression, chronicling the period before the storm, the commuter nightmares, and
the devastation wreaked.
