HOLLYWOOD, Md. – “We are so honored to continue working with two organizations such as Maryland Humanities and Maryland Heritage Areas Authority that have once again demonstrated their dedication to Sotterley’s mission and work. They continue to make impactful projects like Common Ground possible and we are grateful for their support,” said, Nancy Easterling, Sotterley’s Executive Director.
In its fourth year, Sotterley’s award-winning Common Ground programming aims to bring together descendants, community, and partners to remember and celebrate ancestors, providing virtual and in-person experiences through the humanities. This initiative, free to the public, brings together scholars, content experts, and descendants to share our authentic history, with a goal of increasing understanding that leads to a more equitable future.
