Next week, Cambridge Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui and City Manager Louis A.

If you would like to submit a question for consideration, please complete this brief online form. Given that every question will not be able to be addressed during the 30-minute show, every question submitted will receive an email response by the end of next week.

Join us as we edit and create Wikipedia pages related to Black history, with a focus on Black Cantabrigians. We will use resources from the Library's Archives and Special Collections and the Black Voices Collection at the Central Square Branch. At this Wikipedia edit-a-thon, we'll work together to contribute to Wikipedia, focusing on expanding our knowledge of underrepresented groups. You might add to the information on an existing page, create a new one, find reliable sources for others to use, or copyedit and format a page. All experience levels welcome! You do not need to have experience editing Wikipedia to attend and contribute! Laptops will be provided. If you have a Wikipedia account and want to join our dashboard for this event, please do so at this link: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Cambridge_Public_Library/Wikipedia_Highlights_Black_Cambridge_(February_25_2026) This event is in partnership with the Cambridge Black History Project.
