Join us for a community conversation about the importance of coalitions in building democracy, fostering social justice, and improving Baltimore’s future. Baltimore humanities scholars, cultural organizers, and partners will discuss their efforts to help communities empower themselves toward social change. Now more than ever, it is crucial to consider the role of coalitions, forged across boundaries, in practicing public humanities and supporting the work of active and engaged communities.
