On Thursday, February 20, FHC will be hosting a lecture and discussion featuring Eric Reynolds. Over the course of several years, Eric researched the history and lineage of his family.We spoke with Eric ahead of his lecture, entitled “1780-2025 Reclaimed: A Child of that Next Day.” He told us about his work, along with the importance of recognizing the hardships, the perseverance, and the triumphs associated with his family as well as the African American experience.
Eric’s lecture and discussion event is taking place next Thursday night, February 20, at 7 p.m. It’s being held virtually on Zoom.

This week on The Frame: police, fire, and emergency dispatch officials provide updates to the City Council, local residents take part in the No Kings protests, and a spotlight on a historic statue in Framingham —and how it speaks to the city’s place in the history of the American Revolution.
During their meeting on Tuesday, local legislators learned more about efforts to deploy police body cameras and to create a regional dispatch center, as well as current challenges facing the Framingham Fire Department.
Local officials continue to mull potential changes to the area in downtown Framingham, as the city seeks full-time compliance with a state zoning law.
