In a roundtable session, individuals from several areas including Black history, arts, educational, and activist organizations will share stories of how they’ve made a place called home in New England and how they've navigated living in the region including the hopes, challenges and dreams they have for themselves and future generations. Their stories help interweave longer histories of regional, labor, and seasonal migration, the work of maintaining family connections and political presence as citizens, and what it takes to define themselves and the “Black community.” Panelists include: Bobbie D. Bagley, Kelvin Edwards, Dottie R. Morris and Deo Mwano ** You have 48 hours prior to this event to remove your name from the list.
