The Commons is an interactive website where people from Massachusetts history organizations can gather, network, share tools and resources, and build the profile of their organizations and institutions — a place where all historical organizations and groups can hang out a shingle and be seen as part of a much larger whole. What’s a Commons for?

Join us July 10th for a conversation on the responsibilities of historical organizations in light of recent widespread protests and growing acknowledgment that things have to change — that historically white organizations have a duty to challenge white privilege. But how? Share your experience, questions, and reflections, as our panelists will share theirs. Join Marieke Van Damme of the Cambridge Historical Society and Judith Monachina of the Housatonic Heritage Oral History Center for an informal discussion.

Join us July 24th for our third conversation about reopening, as Massachusetts proceeds through Phase III.
