Big Conversation: Our SoMD History-A Tapestry of Many Voices, Sept. 21

Join us in person for a panel featuring voices of teens to local leaders, sharing different perspectives on Southern Maryland history. Discover how personal perspectives are developed that shape how you see the past, why those views matter, and how understanding different perspectives can improve your relationships, make you a better leader and help our communities work together more effectively.

After the panel, take part in small, guided group discussions to share your own ideas, experiences and stories. How can understanding different perspectives help strengthen Southern Maryland as a community? What practical steps can you and our local leaders take to foster mutual respect, cooperation and a shared sense of place and history?

The forum is brought to you by The Big Conversation Partners in Dismantling Racism and Privilege in Southern Maryland. The Big Conversation Partnership works to build public understanding and inspire action to end racism and dismantle the systems that uphold it; the College is partner organization.
