Reimagining the Baltimore Harbor
June 8 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Join Sally Scott and Joby Taylor for a shared discussion: What would you Reimagine for our Baltimore?
In recent centuries, people originating from all corners of the globe — arriving by choice, circumstance or capture — have rebuilt Baltimore many times over. Our cultural inheritance is the sum of their experiences: triumphs and tragedies, hierarchies of power and privilege, and uprisings of resistance and resilience. A fundamental question has always been: Whose Harbor is this? Taylor and Scott, as city residents and local educators, believe that we now have a once-in-a generation opportunity to reimagine a harbor that’s of, by and for the people of Baltimore.
