U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley was on the Island Saturday for the premiere of She Dared To Dream, a documentary about the lawmaker made by filmmaker and frequent Vineyard visitor Abby Ginzberg.

Threats to American democracy was the theme of a talk between Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA 7th District) and Kahina Van Dyke, organizer of the Juneteenth Jubilee events, on Saturday at Union Chapel.

Voting rights, the historical nature of entrenched racism and the healing powers of the Vineyard were all topics when the Congresswoman took the stage at the Tabernacle Friday.
