Author Lydia Moland, professor at Colby College, will talk about Lydia Maria Child (1802-1880), one of Wayland’s most renowned citizens and a courageous abolitionist who lived on Old Sudbury Road in the mid-19th century. By then a prolific writer, Child shocked her readers by publishing the first book-length argument against slavery – so radical that friends abandoned Child and the sale of other books that she had penned plummeted.
