  • December 11, 9:30 - 11:30am: Screening and panel discussion of Holding Ground.
    Holding Ground is at once a cautionary tale of urban policies gone wrong and a message of hope for all American cities. In 1985, African-American, Latino, Cape Verdean, and European-American residents in Roxbury, MA united to revitalize their community. The Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative went on to gain national recognition as residents fought to close down illegal dumps, gain unprecedented control of land from City Hall and create a comprehensive plan to rebuild the fabric of their community. Through the voices of committed residents, activists and city officials, this moving documentary shows how a Boston neighborhood was able to create and carry out its own agenda for change.

    Screening and panel discussion followed by a light lunch. The screening is located at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, 701 St. Paul St., Baltimore, MD 21202. Phone 410-547-6600. More information about the screening to come...

Other scheduled fall events include a ribbon cutting ceremony for the rededication of the Revitalization Resource Center, and a town hall meeting on State Circle, Maryland's news authority for state government and public policy, hosted by Jeff Salkin.
