A Day of Acknowledgment: Confronting the Legacy of Slavery
On November 22, Anne Arundel County will issue a formal apology for its role in slavery and its lasting harms on our communities. This acknowledgment seeks to provide a necessary moment of countywide reflection and reconciliation for the community.
In partnership with the Maryland State Archives, the program will feature a historical overview (from the arrival of enslaved people from Africa to emancipation and beyond), and a formal apology for the profound, far-reaching impacts slavery has had on generations of Black Americans. During lunch, attendees will have the opportunity to view two visiting exhibits, “Flee! Stories of Flight from Maryland” and the Maryland Emancipation Quilt.
Register here! This event will take place at Maryland Hall.
