My brain is working this morning but not in any organized fashion. It’s on plate-spinning mode, I guess. Try as I might I can’t make it behave. Ah, well.
I watched the Changemaker Challenge last night and was fascinated by all the big ideas. Congratulations to the winners:
$10,000 Audience Choice Award: Community Ecology Institute
$10,000 Womens Giving Circle Award: Kits to Heart
$15,000 Changemaker Award: The 3rd
$25,000 Changemaker Award: Alston for Athletes
By the time the evening was over I was truly sorry that all the finalists couldn’t win. Hats off to the Horizon Foundation and everyone involved the this year’s Changemaker Challenge. Oh, and that includes whoever did the videography and made everyone look so good.
One of the finalists whose work I find deeply important is Marlena Jareaux of Howard County Lynching Truth and Reconciliation. I hope to write more about her project soon. Ms. Jareaux has been making frequent posts about Howard County history on the Howard County, MD group on Facebook, if you’d like an idea of the work she is doing.
On the one hand, telling the truth about Howard County history - - all of it - - is long overdue. On the other hand, it couldn’t be more timely.
