The day will feature musical performances by local Black artists; panel discussions between Black elders on their experiences growing up in Maine, and youth leaders on their experiences today; delicious food prepared by Black-owned businesses; and sessions on the state of Black industry, education, justice and the arts.
Interpretation services will be provided (details to follow).
The State of Black Maine Symposium aims to create and sustain a public platform to amplify Black Maine voices, unify across difference, build solidarity, foster collaboration, hold space for creative expression, and inspire bold collective visioning.
