Charlestown Branch of the Boston Public Library

A visual feast of criminals and innocents in Boston’s courtrooms from the 1970s to the 1990s. Presentation given by Eve Griffin, Boston Public Library's Curator of Painting &amp; Sculpture. Doors will open at 5:45 pm, with the presentation starting promptly at 6:00 pm. Free and open to all; sponsored by the Friends of the Charlestown Branch of the BPL, with a reception following in Memorial Hall, across the street from the Library, where examples of Connolly’s work will be on display, including copies of his unique map of Charlestown, available for sale. Joseph A. Connolly III, a long-time resident of Charlestown, died unexpectedly in 2022. An accomplished visual artist, he had worked for many years as an illustrator and courtroom artist for Channels 4, 5, and 7 in Boston. Many of his illustrations were also displayed by other local and national news outlets. After his death, his family, along with several Charlestown friends and neighbors, gathered together to identify a section of his artwork collection that specifically pertained to his courtroom sketches. These particular drawings cover Boston-area trials and crime scenes that happened from the 1970s to the 1990s. This collection, totaling 350 sketches, was donated to the Boston Public Library. Curator Eve Griffin will share stories behind several of these illustrations during her slide presentation.

It’s a matter of time. 50 years to be exact. And in that time Los Lobos have created an unprecedented body of work, a legacy of greatness. The numbers are staggering: 100+ gigs a year for five decades running, crossing millions of miles to rock millions of fans. And that’s just at the live shows. In between they’ve recorded 17 studio albums, 7 live LPs, 3 compilations, 2 EPs, 2 DVDs, and contributed 40+ guest appearances on their friends’ recordings—all garnering 4 Grammys, an Austin City Limits Hall of Fame induction, the ALMA Ritchie Valens Pioneer Award, NEA and Hispanic Heritage Foundation Honors, Congressional recognitions, plus countless “Keys to the City” and “Los Lobos Day” celebrations. And those are just a few of the highlights. But beyond all the hoopla and applause (and the source of it all, really) is the tremendous heart. Rather, hearts. Cinco corazones. Five blood brothers who have dedicated their off-stage time to helping others, working for peace and justice, penning some of the most literate and important music of their time, transforming the hard cries from the East L.A. barrio into songs of hope, tales of common folk finding ways to endure. The young wolves were weaned on late-night radio’s soul, R&amp;B, and doo-wop. Were cured through the African-American currents of the blues, jazz, and rock ‘n’ roll. An amalgam. As proud Chicanos, their songs have always glistened with the distillation from their Mexican and Latin American roots— nourished by Norteña and rancheras, buoyed by bolero and cumbias, soaring on the rhythms of son huasteco and son jarocho. Los Lobos have helped spread the rich diversity of cultures across every continent, throughout the global community. Kids in Antwerp now know about Aztlán. Residents of Luxor and Ghana are crooning Lalo Guerrero. People from Laos and Bulgaria are belting “La Bamba”—all thanks to The Wolves as cultural ambassadors. Talk about a living legacy. Talk about a productive half century. And in the true rebel spirit, they did it all on their own terms, against formula. For the ages. To our delight. Quite simply, they are one of the tightest, one of the best, one of the most prolific bands ever. And, amazingly, with the original founding members as the pack the entire time. Unprecedented. As their liner notes put it, quite simply: “Los Lobos still are David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Jr., Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, Steve Berlin.”
