In October, we’ll be concentrating on some of the racial issues that abound in our city and our world. Please consider attending these Adult Forum sessions:

4 & 11 – T. Marie King will be discussing non-violent community activism. T. Marie is a civil rights activist in Birmingham who spends her time hosting reconciliation workshops, mentoring local students, and helping low-income families find the resources they need. She will be talking to us about non-violent community action.

18 – Judge Philip T. Caroom (ret.) of the Maryland Alliance for Justice Reform will be speaking with us. This organization is a bipartisan, statewide alliance, seeking legislative changes to bring MD into the 21st century. The group seeks corrections policies that are evidence-based, humane and effective. Come and learn about how we might be a part of this initiative.

25 – Our own Charles Minor will be providing us with a presentation about famous Baltimoreans and Marylanders who have changed our country. Charles in a long-time Baltimore City Social Studies teacher. He worked for Baltimore City School for 34 years, a department chair at Harlem Park and Mergenthaler Vocational High School.
