Race, Ethnicity and the Malaga Island Story

Inspired to learn more about the state of Maine’s embarrassing element of regional history after reading Gary Schmidt’s historical novel, “Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy,” the Green House students determined it was up to them to do what state, county and local leaders had failed to do for almost a century: apologize for the injustice. Students raised $1900 to fund a plaque that they dedicated to the Pineland Cemetery in Freeport. Some state representatives and Malaga descendants, as well as 75 Bath Middle School students, were in attendance for the dedication ceremony.
