Curating 400 Years of African American History across the Chesapeake Heartland
presented by
Darius Johnson, Digital Justice Fellow at Washington College Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience, Trustee on the board of the Maryland Historical Trust
Johnson explores the rich, complex stories of African Americans in the region and their connections to the cultural and natural landscapes of the Chesapeake Bay. Central to this discussion is the idea that attracting diverse engagement—through descendant communities, local partnerships, and broader public participation—leads to more authentic, equitable, and impactful interpretation. Such engagement not only uncovers underrepresented histories but also fosters a deeper connection to place and heritage for all audiences.
