On March 21, 2011, more than 150 guests and friends of Paul Cuffee School came to hear an unbelievable, but true story. Presented by author Allen Wells, a distinguished Professor of Latin American History at Bowdoin College, the audience learned about the survival of 757 Jews who escaped one dictator (Hitler) by accepting the seemingly benign invitation of the Dominican Republic’s former President, Rafael Trujillo.
His fascinating book talk was the first of the David L. Bourns Dialogues, a special event to honor and expand upon the intellectual curiosity of Mr. Bourns, the founding Head of Paul Cuffee School who retired in June 2010.
