  Cambridge Black History Month Event with Gullah Geechee Storyteller Ms. Theresa Hilliard

  City Hall, 2nd Floor Sullivan Chamber, 795 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA 02139

  The Gullah Geechee people are descendants of West African slaves brought to the coasts of Carolinas, Georgia, and Northern Florida, whose geographic isolation helped them retain a distinct culture and language.

  Circle Up!

  Main Library, Lecture Hall, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138

  Youth Underground is an ensemble that creates and performs original theater that investigates social issues relevant to young people. Our pieces are created through a series of interviews with the community. Last year, our interviews centered around the Achievement Gap, and Circle Up! was born. See and hear what is going on in urban high schools by listening to the voices of real students, and the educators who work with them, as they describe the effects of opportunity gaps and implicit bias on their everyday lives. Sponsored by the Friends of the Cambridge Public Library.
