Today is a momentous occasion. It marks four years since Elizabeth Johnson Jr. received her long-overdue exoneration on July 28, 2022 having been convicted on January 11, 1693, 329 years after her wrongful conviction during the Salem Witch Trials. As we reflect on this significant milestone, we also recognize the broader lessons and impacts this journey carries, particularly for our students and for women across generations.

"The Last Witch" documentary doesn't merely retell a historical event; it amplifies the voice of a young woman silenced by prejudice and fear. Elizabeth's story serves as a potent reminder of the countless women throughout history who've faced persecution, bias, and ostracization. By bringing her story to the fore, we're not just honoring her memory but also elevating the narratives of women who've been marginalized, ensuring their stories aren't lost in the annals of history.

North Andover Middle School students, standing at the intersection of this movement, have garnered invaluable insights. They've recognized the perils of intolerance, experienced the power of collective action, and understood the significance of civic engagement. Furthermore, they've witnessed the importance of championing women's voices, ensuring they're heard, respected, and celebrated.

As we pause today to honor Elizabeth Johnson Jr., the lessons learned, and the strides taken, let's also envision the equitable and compassionate future we're weaving together. Thank you for being an integral part of this tapestry. Please consider making a gift on this special day! 🙏💜💜💜

Lucianne Tonti’s article in the Guardian helps us articulate gender oppression and it highlights our beloved Katherine Harrison.
BUT Katherine’s exact experience with her community and neighbors IS a modern reality. We aren’t looking back at Katherine Harrison, we are looking at thousands of her now. World Day Against Witch Hunts is Aug 10th because this is a “hidden” truth.
Let’s speak up for all the living Katherine Harrisons- women who experience the continued literal witch hunt due to the same exact fears and with the same violence and cruelty.

Authors and journalist must stop leading any modern narrative with “woman aren’t burned at the stake for witchcraft anymore” to drive a modern point of gender oppression.

This exact “olden time”scenario is alive and rampant for woman.
Writing this glaring falsehood is an act of turning our backs on the modern woman who lives the “historic”example. Woman are actually branded as witches and killed now, every day.
