A Community Walk Celebrating Cambridge's Own Black and Brown History
https://manyhelpinghands365.org/community-walk-through-cambridges-own-history/
Come together to serve and honor the legacy of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr for approximately an hour long walk through the Port Neighborhood and learn about Cambridge’s Black and Brown history, learning from community members and residents to reflect on how Martin Luther King Jr. might respond to the current events, challenges and success of the Port area with its deep rooted history of residents that have shaped all of Cambridge.
Join us at Starlight Square in Central Squares’ cultural district (84 Bishop Allen Dr.) at 12:30 to gather with friends, view murals by local artists, visit and support area cafes and shops. Make an impact flyer to take on the walk while listening to community leaders sharing ideas with a lens on how past and present have collided to form a vibrant Port community—often overlooked by folks living and visiting Cambridge. The Community Walk will start at 1pm and take approximately 1 hour. Volunteers in red caps will direct you and point to signage that highlights information that will inspire you to start conversations about equity, social and racial justice. More information on the route and particular sites with music, art and inspiration highlighted will be shared on our social media sites. We can’t wait to see. Let’s keep everyone safe; please wear a mask on the walk.
