Press Release
JEFFERSON’S DREAM at Discover Portsmouth Center
Sunday, 4 October at 2 p.m. – Portsmouth Historical Society presents JEFFERSON’S DREAM, a concert and reading presented by former Portsmouth Poet Laureate, John Perrault.
Based on Perrault’s new book, Jefferson’s Dream, and CD of the same title, just published by Hobblebush Books, the program focuses on eight great Americans—both women and men—who carried the values of the Declaration forward into our lives. Through the medium of ballads, John traces Jefferson’s vision as it dramatically broadens with Lincoln’s reading, and gives impetus to abolitionism and women’s rights. He will be joined by popular Seacoast musicians, Barbara London and Mike Rogers.
