The Last Victim of the Salem Witch Trials

Annika Hylmö, Ph.D is the producer of a dynamic documentary called The Last Witch about the last woman to be convicted and pardoned three centuries later in the Salem Witch trials. It is a compelling program about standing up for the persecuted to give them a voice. 22-year-old Elizabeth Johnson Jr was the last person convicted in the 1692 trials. Elizabeth did not fit in. She was considered odd and called simple. Society persecuted, labeled, and condemned her at trial as a detestable witch. She was sentenced to death. She was not executed but the conviction never left. She had a lifelong label.  Elizabeth was not exonerated until 330 years later when an 8th-grade civics class helped clear her name by the Massachusetts state legislature. Annika’s production is the story of Elizabeth from her perspective and what she endured. It is about making amends and righting wrongs and how people are still cut down and condemned just as they were in the 1600s. It carries a powerful message of how we can improve our world to make it a place that doesn’t condemn, bully, or persecute people just because they are different. Join Women Road Warriors as we speak with Annika about this project.The Last Witch FacebookInstagramTwitterTik TokLinkedInhttps://womenroadwarriors.com/ ttps://womenspowernetwork.net#TheLastWitch #AnnikaHylmo #ElizabethJohnsonJr #SalemWitchTrials #Bullying #Persecution #StoppingPersecution #ShelleyJohnson #ShelleyMJohnson #KathyTuccaro #WomenRoadWarriors
