Intended Audience
To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act and to coincide with Governor Wes Moore's proclamation of 2024 as Maryland's Year of Civil Rights, the Center for the Study of Democracy, St. Mary's College of Maryland, Historic St. Mary's City and Historic Sotterley will host a panel discussion titled "The Civil Rights Act in Southern Maryland: Yesterday, Today, and for Tomorrow." This program will feature distinguished panelists from academia, law, activist and advocacy circles and the museum studies community from the region to explore the legacy of the Civil Rights Act in Southern Maryland. We hope to stimulate dialogue, enhance learning, forge partnerships and promote civic engagement within the Southern Maryland community.
A pre-event reception with light refreshments will take place at 6 p.m. in the lobby of the Dodge PAC.
