Baltimore's Hard Histories: Conversations, Community, and Change Roundtables

Description

Baltimore's Hard Histories continues on Friday, Sept. 8, with a day of roundtable conversations.

In Baltimore, the sum of our work is greater than its parts, and we at Hard Histories at Hopkins hope this gathering will help make that manifest. Through the experiences of hard history practitioners in the city's schools, museums, cultural institutions, and faith communities, the day's four roundtables will explore how participants research their institutions' pasts of racism and discrimination. With new knowledge comes change, and panelists will share the resulting transformations in the narratives they tell, naming and memorialization of their landscapes, changes in how their institutions are led and by whom, and how confrontations with hard histories have reshaped the heart of their missions.
