Turn of the Century Eviction of the Residents of Malaga Island-Interview with Marnie Darling Voter
Manage episode 506511663 series 3559234
This is a considerable improvement made upon an earlier interview, held this past summer (2025) w/ Marnie Darling Voter. Marnie is a decendent of those residents evicted from Malaga Island, Maine at the turn of the 20th century in the year 1912.
These Malaga Island residents, were primarily subsistent fishermen along the coastal Islands of Maine, who were victimimized by "yellow journalism," eugenics and racism in the extreme.
With the official assistance and "blessings" from the Governor of the State of Maine, a deed for four hundred dollars, from a still undisclosed purchaser, was also to have been used to put up a hotel on Malaga Island. For unknown reasons, neither the hotel, nor did any other development ever transpire on Malaga.
