Dear John,

I hope you will join us tomorrow, Friday, March 3, from 12-1 PM for our virtual Lunch and Learn: Introducing the Place Justice Project: A Statewide Truth-seeking and Historical Recovery Initiative of the Permanent Commission .

Who gets memorialized through place names, statues, and historical markers is a strong indicator of a society's values and its dominant sense of collective identity. The Permanent Commission on the Status of Racial, Indigenous, and Tribal Populations has launched a Place Justice Project that seeks to engage Wabanaki and Maine communities in examining a wide range of commemorative practices to better understand and respond to the ways in which racialized and Indigenous populations are represented in or absent from the narratives inscribed on our natural and built environment. Whose memory is visible and celebrated, and whose has been erased or misrepresented? How do the politics and practices of public remembrance and forgetting continue to impact our communities today?

Learn from Meadow Dibble, Place Justice Project Lead, Executive Director of Atlantic Black Box ; Erika Arthur, Place Justice Consultant, Policy Analyst at the Catherine Cutler Institute ; and Angela Okafor, Director of Community Engagement at the Permanent Commission about how you can take part in this collective examination of the memory scape in which we exist and yet have largely come to take for granted.

I hope to see you tomorrow,
Kathleen
