WHAT: “The Struggle for Racial Justice in Maryland”
– Panel Discussion and Short Film Presentation

Racial justice is extended to all who live in this country by the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and various civil rights statutes. It’s your right to get an education, buy or rent a house, marry whom you want, get a job of your choice, and vote – all without anyone stopping you because of your race. Come hear some of Maryland’s most prominent leaders talking about their experiences, past and present, fighting for civil rights and racial justice in the Free State.
