SUMMARY:May Conversation on Race explores environmental justice\, Descendant documentary
DESCRIPTION:Credit: Tracey F. Johns \nTalbot Family Network will host a community screening and discussion of excerpts from the documentary film Descendant as part of its ongoing Conversations on Race series. The event will take place Monday\, May 18\, 2026\, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Eastern Shore Conservation Center\, 114 S. Washington St.\, Easton. A light dinner and refreshments will be provided. \nPresented in partnership with ShoreRivers\, the program will explore environmental justice by examining how environmental conditions\, historical inequities\, and access to decision-making power continue to shape health\, opportunity\, and belonging in communities. The session was originally offered in February and rescheduled to May. \nDescendant tells the story of descendants of survivors of the Clotilda\, the last known ship to carry enslaved Africans to the United States. The documentary follows members of the Africatown community in Alabama as they uncover their ancestors’ story\, preserve cultural traditions\, and confront environmental and economic challenges tied to industrial development in their community. \nThe film highlights themes of resilience\, environmental stewardship\, and the ongoing impact of systemic inequities. \nFilm is a powerful way to engage people in conversations that might otherwise feel difficult to approach\,” said Nancy Andrew\, executive director of Talbot Family Network. “By watching and discussing Descendant together\, we hope to create space for meaningful dialogue about how history\, environment\, and community well-being are connected\, both nationally and here on the Mid-Shore. \nFollowing the screening\, participants will engage in a facilitated discussion designed to encourage reflection and community dialogue. \nShoreRivers will provide local context by helping participants consider connections between the environmental justice issues highlighted in the documentary and challenges faced by communities on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. \nEnvironmental justice is closely tied to who has a voice in decisions that affect land\, water\, and public health\,” said ShoreRivers Senior Community Engagement Coordinator Maegan White. “This conversation offers an opportunity to connect a powerful national story to local experiences and to better understand the environmental challenges our Eastern Shore communities face. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Advance registration is required\, and seating is limited. Registration is available at https://bit.ly/may26convo. \nThe Conversations on Race series is held monthly from September through May\, typically on the last Monday of each month. Each session is designed to stand alone while contributing to an ongoing community dialogue about race\, equity\, and inclusion. Partners for the 2025-26 series include Shore Lit\, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum\, and additional community organizations. \nShoreRivers works to protect Maryland’s Eastern Shore waterways through science-based advocacy\, restoration\, education\, and engagement\, with a vision of thriving rivers cherished by all Eastern Shore communities. More information is available at shorerivers.org. \nTalbot Family Network serves as Talbot County’s Local Management Board\, established by the state of Maryland to improve coordination of services for children and families. The organization identifies local priorities\, directs resources\, and promotes collaboration among agencies and community partners.

SUMMARY:April Conversation on Race Explores How Language Shapes Equity
DESCRIPTION:Talbot Family Network will launch the April installment of its Conversations on Race series with a new community partnership and an interactive program focused on language\, power\, and equity. \nThe event will take place on Monday\, April 27\, 2026\, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Talbot County Free Library\, located at 100 W. Dover Street in Easton. A light dinner and refreshments will be provided. \nFor January\, Talbot Family Network is partnering with Shore Lit to present a 90-minute facilitated program centered on Critical Language Awareness and Linguistic Justice. The session will explore how language shapes perceptions\, reinforces bias\, and influences a sense of belonging\, with an emphasis on listening\, reflection\, and dialogue. \nThe program is being designed and facilitated by Shore Lit Founder and Director Kerry Folan\, who will incorporate audio storytelling and guided discussion to examine how oral prejudice and assumptions about language affect individuals and communities. The format is intended to encourage shared learning in an accessible\, welcoming environment. \nConversations on Race creates space for our community to engage with complex issues in thoughtful and meaningful ways\,” said Nancy Andrew\, executive director of Talbot Family Network. “This partnership with Shore Lit allows us to explore race through the lens of language\, which is central to how we connect\, include\, and understand one another.” \n“Our conversations about race often focus on visual signifiers and perceptions. But there are also relationships among race\, language\, and power\,” said Folan. “This conversation draws on my training as a professor of writing and literature and invites people to reflect on their own experiences with language\, considering the often invisible power structures inherent within and the impact of linguistic hierarchies on our perceptions of race. \nThe event is free and open to the public\, with advanced registration required and seating limited. Registration is available at bit.ly/apr26convo. \nThe Conversations on Race series is held monthly from September through May\, typically on the last Monday of each month. Each session stands on its own while contributing to a broader community dialogue on race\, equity\, and inclusion. Partners for the 2025–26 series include Shore Lit\, ShoreRivers\, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum\, and others. \nShore Lit is a nonprofit literary organization based on Maryland’s Eastern Shore that promotes reading\, creative writing\, and literary engagement across the region. Through free author talks\, youth writing workshops\, and literacy programs\, Shore Lit amplifies diverse voices and creates experiences of joy and connection around storytelling. Its programs serve readers and writers across ages and backgrounds throughout the Mid-Shore\, with more at www.shorelit.org. \nTalbot Family Network serves as Talbot County’s Local Management Board\, established by the state of Maryland to improve coordination of services for children and families. TFN identifies local priorities\, targets resources\, and fosters collaboration across agencies and communities. More information is available at www.healthytalbot.org/about/talbot-family-network/. \n  \nNote: This event was originally scheduled in January\, and rescheduled due to a weather-related cancellation.

SUMMARY:March Conversation on Race explores history\, memory\, and Frederick Douglass’ Talbot County legacy
DESCRIPTION:Talbot Family Network will host its March Conversations on Race program\, titled “Dialogue on Race Through History: Legacy\, Landscape\, and the Lives We Remember\,” on Monday\, March 23\, 2026\, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum at 215 N. Talbot St.\, St. Michaels\, Md. A light dinner and refreshments will be provided. \nThis month’s conversation will explore the region’s history through the lens of Frederick Douglass and the broader landscape of enslavement that shaped Talbot County. While Douglass’ life story is extraordinary\, his experiences offer a powerful window into the realities faced by many people who lived and labored in the region\, including countless individuals whose names and stories were never recorded. \nThe session will also connect to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s exhibition Bear Me Into Freedom: The Talbot County of Frederick Douglass\, which examines Douglass’ early life on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and the historical landscape that influenced his journey. Opened this month\, Bear Me Into Freedom is inspired by local photographer and historian Jeff McGuiness’ book of the same name. \n“Frederick Douglass’ story begins here in Talbot County\, and it provides an opportunity to reflect not only on his remarkable life but also on the broader history of this place\,” said Talbot Family Network Executive Director  Nancy Andrew. “These conversations help our community explore how the past continues to shape our understanding of identity\, belonging\, and shared responsibility today.” \nParticipants will consider how communities remember history\, whose stories are preserved\, whose are lost\, and what it means to live alongside that legacy today. The discussion is designed to encourage thoughtful dialogue and reflect on the connections between local history and present-day community life. \n“History is not just something we study in textbooks. It lives in the places around us and in the stories we choose to remember\,” said Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Vice President\, Learning & Innovation Jill Ferris. “Frederick Douglass’ experiences here on the Eastern Shore help illuminate a larger story about the people and landscapes that shaped his life\, and the many voices that remain part of that history.” \nThe event is free and open to the public. Advance registration is required\, and seating is limited. Registration is available at bit.ly/march26convo. \nThe Conversations on Race series is held monthly from September through May\, typically on the last Monday of each month. Each session is designed to stand alone while contributing to an ongoing community dialogue about race\, equity\, and inclusion. Partners for the 2025–26 series include ShoreRivers\, Shore Lit\, Talbot County Free Library\, and additional community organizations. \nTalbot Family Network serves as Talbot County’s Local Management Board\, established by the state of Maryland to improve coordination of services for children and families. The organization identifies local priorities\, directs resources\, and promotes collaboration among agencies and community partners. More information is available at www.healthytalbot.org/about/talbot-family-network. \nMore about the exhibit is at www.cbmm.org/bear-me-into-freedom/. \n  \n(Photo courtesy CBMM)

SUMMARY:Arts Alive 2nd Tuesday Lunchtime Concert
DESCRIPTION:The series is pleased to welcome Collins & Vocke as the NEW featured performers. Together Sarah Collins and Jonathon Vocke bring a fresh take to both Irish and Old-Time music\, pairing traditional fiddle melodies with two-fingered banjo. Drawing inspiration from the Celtic traditions that Sarah grew up with in Boston and the old-time and folk scene that Jonathan calls home in Baltimore\, this duo explores the space at the intersection of these musical styles. The music they create together is first and foremost about groove\, and plays with the balance of lightness\, sensitivity\, and grounding.

SUMMARY:Cancelled: February Conversation on Race explores environmental justice\, Descendant documentary
DESCRIPTION:FEBRUARY 23\, 2026 UPDATE: This event is now cancelled due to the winter storm. \nTalbot Family Network will host a community screening and discussion of excerpts from the documentary film Descendant as part of its ongoing Conversations on Race series. The event will take place Monday\, Feb. 23\, 2026\, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Eastern Shore Conservation Center\, 114 S. Washington St.\, Easton. A light dinner and refreshments will be provided. \nThe February program\, presented in partnership with ShoreRivers\, will explore environmental justice by examining how environmental conditions\, historical inequities\, and access to decision-making power continue to shape health\, opportunity\, and belonging in communities. \nDescendant tells the story of descendants of survivors of the Clotilda\, the last known ship to carry enslaved Africans to the United States. The documentary follows members of the Africatown community in Alabama as they uncover their ancestors’ story\, preserve cultural traditions\, and confront environmental and economic challenges tied to industrial development in their community. \nThe film highlights themes of resilience\, environmental stewardship\, and the ongoing impact of systemic inequities. \nFilm is a powerful way to engage people in conversations that might otherwise feel difficult to approach\,” said Nancy Andrew\, executive director of Talbot Family Network. “By watching and discussing Descendant together\, we hope to create space for meaningful dialogue about how history\, environment\, and community well-being are connected\, both nationally and here on the Mid-Shore. \nFollowing the screening\, participants will engage in a facilitated discussion designed to encourage reflection and community dialogue. \nShoreRivers will provide local context by helping participants consider connections between the environmental justice issues highlighted in the documentary and challenges faced by communities on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. \nEnvironmental justice is closely tied to who has a voice in decisions that affect land\, water\, and public health\,” said ShoreRivers Senior Community Engagement Coordinator Maegan White. “This conversation offers an opportunity to connect a powerful national story to local experiences and to better understand the environmental challenges our Eastern Shore communities face. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Advance registration is required\, and seating is limited. Registration is available at bit.ly/feb26convo. \nThe Conversations on Race series is held monthly from September through May\, typically on the last Monday of each month. Each session is designed to stand alone while contributing to an ongoing community dialogue about race\, equity\, and inclusion. Partners for the 2025-26 series include Shore Lit\, the Water’s Edge Museum\, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum\, and additional community organizations. \nShoreRivers works to protect Maryland’s Eastern Shore waterways through science-based advocacy\, restoration\, education\, and engagement\, with a vision of thriving rivers cherished by all Eastern Shore communities. More information is available at shorerivers.org. \nTalbot Family Network serves as Talbot County’s Local Management Board\, established by the state of Maryland to improve coordination of services for children and families.
