Get on the Bus!
In May of 2022 on the James Taylor Justice Coalition's second Justice Day event, participants collected a sample of soil from the site where Mr. Taylor was hanged. With money raised from individuals and organizations in our community a busload of over 50 youth and adults left Chestertown, MD in the wee hours of August 25 to transport the soil sample to the Legacy Museum in Montgomery. The trip included visits to important civil rights sites in Birmingham, Selma, Montgomery and Atlanta.

Dear Pirandello, you're wrong!
A man walks in a wasteland...again.Welcome to Città Sant'Angelo, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, located in the enchanting region of Abruzzo. In this short film, we will explore the charming streets, picturesque views, and breathtaking panoramas of this magical place. Through a game of hide-and-seek, we will reveal its hidden beauties, showing how this picturesque town responds to a literary critique from a bygone era. Luigi Pirandello, a renowned Italian playwright and writer, wrote the novella "Notte" (Night) after a brief stay as a professor at the Istituto Magistrale Bertrando Spaventa during state exams. In it, he did not describe the Abruzzo village in the best light. This visual journey combines tradition and modernity, art and nature, in an affectionate response to Pirandello's words.
