COLONIE LIBRARY: Chinese Film/Discussion Series returns
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Today, Wednesday, March 22 at 12:15 p.m.: PBS’s “Frontline” follows renowned New Yorker writer and Boston surgeon Atul Gawande as he explores the relationships doctors have with patients who are nearing the end of life. In conjunction with Gawande’s book, “Being Mortal,” the film investigates the practice of caring for the dying, and shows how doctors – himself included – are often remarkably untrained, ill suited and uncomfortable talking about chronic illness and death with their patients. Presented by the group Death With Dignity-Albany. For more information: [email protected]

Town History

Historical Society of the Town of Colonie: Schuyler Flatts

A talk by Michael T. Lucas, Ph.D., Curator of Historical Archaeology at the New York State Museum, titled Slavery and Freedom in Nineteenth Century Watervliet will be presented on Sunday, March 26 at 2 p.m. About the talk: “Enslaved people of African and Native American descent were used as the primary labor force in New York from the 1620s until gradual emancipation abolished the institution in 1827. Though the numbers of slaves per household were smaller in New York than the southern plantations, several wealthy land owners around Albany did retain over five slaves on their rural estates.”
