SUMMARY:Signs\, Stories\, and Unraveling Myths in Concord—A Concord Justice Roundtable Event
DESCRIPTION:Long before English settlers arrived in 1635\, this land was known as Musketaquid—“the land between the grassy rivers”—and home to Indigenous peoples for over 10\,000 years. This event will explore how we can broaden our historical perspective\, moving beyond a colonial-centered narrative to one that acknowledges Indigenous history\, re-examines outdated myths\, and ensures all stories are told. \nAs we continue to learn and grow\, communities like Concord have the opportunity to lead the way in sharing a more complete and honest history. The removal of signage that overlooked the presence of Nipmuc\, Massachusett\, and Wampanoag peoples was a meaningful first step\, but there’s more work to do. In the middle of a broader conversation about race\, justice\, the mistreatment of Indigenous peoples\, and the legacy of enslavement in the United States today\, Concord must continue reckoning with its own part in that history. Join us for this important discussion on how we can honor the past while shaping a more inclusive future. \nThis event is part of the Concord Social Justice Roundtable\, a community forum that fosters discussion on how Concord can become a more welcoming\, equitable\, and inclusive community. It is sponsored by LWV of Concord-Carlisle\, Concord DEI Commission\, and Concord-Carlisle Human Rights Council. \nOrganized in partnership with The Umbrella Arts Center. From February 28 to March 23\, you are invited to see the play “Where We Belong” by Madeline Sayet: An Indigenous theatre-maker journeys across geographic borders\, personal history\, and Cultural legacies in search of a place to belong. Learn more. \nPresenter & Moderator: Joe Palumbo \nJoe Palumbo\, a Concord native\, grew up on a farm along Battle Road\, surrounded by history. He holds a BA in history from Boston University and a master’s in educational leadership from California State University. As an educator\, facilitator\, and presenter\, Joe excels in engaging audiences of all ages. He is committed to uncovering fuller historical narratives and works to tell the stories of all the people who built our nation and fought for the expansion of freedom and equality. He currently works as a historical interpreter in the Boston area and serves as Co-President of The Robbins House Museum. \nThis hybrid event is free and open to everyone. Zoom link coming soon. \n
