When Past Meets Power in South Shore

🎤✨ You're Invited! ✨👟

Join us for South Shore Remembers: Intergenerational Storytelling & Racial Healing — a powerful, people-centered FREE event series that’s all about stories, connection, and community healing.

Through Story Circles, guided dialogues, a walking tour with our Sister Outsider program, and a joyful community celebration, we’re spotlighting the heart of South Shore — from activism and artistry to safe spaces and legacy. Residents who lived through the neighborhood’s transformation in the ’60s and ’70s will join forces with younger community members to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine what South Shore looks like together.

Let’s celebrate the past, speak truth to the present, and build toward a vibrant, connected future. Come walk with us, talk with us, and heal with us.

💬 Real Stories. 🖼 Bold History. 🏃🏾‍♀️ Healing in Motion.

🎉 Introducing the first-ever SSR Celebration: When Past Meets Power! 🎉

We’re excited to welcome the public to a brand new event honoring Arts & Culture, Activism, Community, and LGBTQIA+ history in South Shore. This celebration uplifts the vibrant legacy of the neighborhood and its people — and this year, we’re proud to honor Dr. Carol Adams, one of the nation’s most esteemed educators and a pillar of the South Shore community.

Hosted by Arlieta Hall, the day features the Grand Opening of the South Shore Remembers Video Gallery Installation, screenings of community films including The Making of South Shore Remembers by Erin Turney and When Past Meets Power by Candice Major, and the presentation of the South Shore Remembers Impact Award to Dr. Adams.
