Join us to learn about the newly launched Newburyport Black History Initiative, a collaborative project that aims to highlight and incorporate Newburyport’s Black history more fully into the public landscape through historic interpretive signs, lectures, panel discussions and workshops, and other activities. Prof. Kabria Baumgartner, Cyd Raschke, and Geordie Vining will describe the project's mission and key goals, upcoming plans, and how community members can get involved. Free and open to the public.
