We are excited to announce a tour arranged specifically for our network! This tour focuses on African Americans during and in the Civil War. It will be led by tour guides, Johnny Coleman II and Marquette Milton. This tour is great for small or large groups, families with children, and individuals, but it does require some walking, a warm coat, and comfortable shoes.
Tuesday, February 18, 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm, Grace Episcopal Church, (1607 Grace Church Road, Silver Spring)
We are gathering the Network to 1) engage and connect; 2) provide an overview and update on the Racial Equity and Social Justice bill/ Bill 27-19; and 3) share the accomplishments and next steps for the Network.
The MORE Network is a collaboration of community members, grassroots organizations, non profits, and other stakeholders who are working towards racial equity and its intersections. It is a new collaboration--about 6 months old--that was organized to bring together individuals, groups, and organizations working towards a common goal: racial equity in Montgomery County, MD.
This community meeting is open to everyone who has contributed to MORE's success and to anyone interested in learning more about the Network.
