Join us in creating a new mural of Harriet Tubman!
We invite you to join us for From 1619 to Today Part III as we create a community mural at the Banneker-Douglass Museum!
Led by Chanel Compton, Executive Director of BDM, and Gina Lewis, Professor of Art at Bowie State University, youth and community members will create a mural of Harriet Tubman (in celebration of Tubman's year-long 200th Birthday Celebration) incorporating themes from The New York Times bestseller, The 1619 Project by Nicole Hannah-Jones. There will also be a book giveaway of The 1619 Project and The 1619 Project: Born on the Water while supplies last!
American Sign Language (ASL) will be available for the program portion of this event. Also, youth can receive service learning hours for participation.
From 1619 to Today is brought to you 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. 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.
