September 2024 at the Wendell Meetinghouse:
Honoring Elders Event and Posters/Memorabilia Exhibit
Since 2023, Gail Mason has been offering “Honoring Elders” events at the Wendell Meetinghouse. Community members honor selected elders by sharing stories, experiences, appreciations and laughs; it’s a chance to appreciate those whose efforts have helped shaped our Wendell world (and beyond).*
Court was the featured elder on September 22, 2024 - thanks to Janet Masucci, this video captures the event:

* This event was funded in part by a grant from the Wendell Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
The Exhibit
Court collected many posters, photos and other memorabilia over the course of more than fifty years of performance and activism. In a special exhibition associated with his Honoring Elders event, Court shared stories and memories inspired by the exhibit. He later recorded some of those sharings on video - have a look!
