Scrapbook
"This album chronicles one man's attempt throughout the years 1972 - 1977, to influence change in the form of Government for the City of Lawrence, MA., by home-rule petition. This attempt did not succeed. But six years later in 1983, the Massachusetts State Legislature accomplished what the citizens could not - a new Charter for the City of Lawrence. The new Charter took effect January 1, 1986 after ratification by the voters.
