Or did he work at a national level to restrict the rights of his workers and contribute to environmental problems in the region? Honors Northeast students, after extensive research, utilize this feature length film as an opportunity to explore the various facets of Pilgrim’s life and his legendary impact. The event is free and open to the public.
