About This Event

Join us for a panel discussion on the economic and societal changes that forced Cambridge's Black Community out over the last millennium.

Join us for a lively conversation with Alyssa Pacy, Archivist at the Cambridge Public Library, Charles Sullivan, Executive Director of the Cambridge Historical Commission, Dr. Kris Manjapra, Executive Director of Black History in Action Cambridge, and members of our community as we view and discuss yearly censuses, research especially the effects of redlining, and first-hand community experience of the economic and societal changes that led to the decrease of the black community throughout Cambridge.
