From 1619 to Today: The Influence of Race on the Annapolis Community (Part III – Mural Project)
June 11, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
In Partnership with Baltimore Read Aloud, Lambda Delta Sigma Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and the Bowie State University Department of Fine and Performing Arts
On June 11th, we invite you to join us for Part III of the series From 1619 to Today as we create a community mural at the Banneker-Douglass Museum (BDM)!
Youth and community members, led by Chanel Compton, Executive Director of BDM, and Gina Lewis, professor of art at Bowie State University, will create a mural of Harriet Tubman (in celebration of Tubman’s year-long 200th Birthday Celebration) incorporating themes from New York Times bestseller, The 1619 Project by Nicole Hannah-Jones. There will also be a book giveaway of The 1619 Project provided by Baltimore Read Aloud while supplies last!
In this three part series, we explore the influence of race on the Annapolis community from 1619 to today through public readings, youth presentations, group discussions, and this community mural project.
