“Baltimore’s Hard Histories” continues on Friday, September 8, 2023, with a day of roundtable conversations. In Baltimore, the sum of our work is greater than its parts and we at Hard Histories at Hopkins hope this gathering will help make that manifest. Through the experiences of hard history practitioners in the city’s schools, museums, cultural institutions, and faith communities, the day’s four roundtables will explore how participants research their institutions’ pasts of racism and discrimination. With new knowledge comes change, and panelists will share the resulting transformations in the narratives they tell, naming and memorialization of their landscapes, changes in how their institutions are led and by whom, and how confrontations with hard histories have reshaped the heart of their missions.

About Hard Histories at Hopkins
Launched in fall 2020, Hard Histories at Hopkins examines the role that racism and discrimination have played at Johns Hopkins. Blending research, teaching, public engagement, and the creative arts, Hard Histories aims to engage our broadest communities—at Johns Hopkins and in Baltimore—in a frank and informed exploration of how racism has been produced and permitted to persist as part of our structure and our practice.
