"Hands Up Don't Shoot Our Youth Screenings and Discussion"
The Baltimore Stories project is an initiative funded by the NEH Humanities in the Public Square grant. The project is designed to help examine the roles of narrative in the life and identity of the city and will produce an educational website to help educators and the public investigate the roles of narrative and race.
The University of Maryland’s (UMD) Arts and Humanities Center for Synergy, in partnership with Coppin State’s Department of Visual and Performing Arts and the Enoch Pratt Library, hosted filmmaker Ralph Crowder’s documentary“Hands Up Don't Shoot Our Youth Movement,” at both Coppin State (May 13, 2016) and the Pennsylvania Avenue Pratt Library (May 14, 2016).
The Baltimore Stories project has been made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and is a collaboration between the University of Maryland, Maryland Humanities, the University of Maryland Baltimore County, Enoch Pratt Free Library and the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance.
