An Evening with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Revolutionary Spaces is pleased to be partnering with the <a href="https://supremecourthistory.org/">Supreme Court Historical Society</a> for the premiere Boston screening of the Society’s film on the life and times of Boston’s own Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., acclaimed jurist, scholar, and Civil War veteran. Originally performed at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. in 2023 to a sold out audience, <a href="https://supremecourthistory.org/films/">Holmes: The Film</a> showcases the famously long-serving U.S. Supreme Justice as a man shaped by his times, upbringing, and experiences. In turn, he helped shape constitutional law, public policy, and society as a whole by virtue of his principles and the jurisprudence that gave them life and lasting significance. Join us at Old South Meeting House on Thursday, April 17, for this 60-minute historical drama that depicts Holmes looking back at his life on the battlefield and the bench on his 90th birthday in 1931. Following the film, engage in a compelling conversation with our evening’s panelists—retired Supreme Judicial Court Associate Justice Robert Cordy, Boston lawyer RJ Lyman, and the film’s screenwriter, Todd Peppers. Moderator Ed O’Connell, Revolutionary Spaces Civic Engagement Manager, will introduce the film and host the post-film discussion, followed by an audience Q&amp;A. An Evening with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. is free and open to the public thanks in part to the generous support of the <a href="https://lowellinstitute.org/">Lowell Institute</a>. Doors will open at 6:00 PM and the program will begin at 6:30 PM. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.&nbsp;
